    Have Questions? Get Answers.

    Tips on posting on the forums.

    1. Post a clear title like ‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of ‘I have a question.
       
    2. Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title.
      I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on.
       
    3. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.
       
      Again – You want to make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.
     
    Leading too:

    exclamation-point.pngPost straightforward questions and then post background information.
     
     
    Examples:
     
    • Question A. I was previously denied for apnea – Should I refile a claim?
      • Adding Background information in your post will help members understand what information you are looking for so they can assist you in finding it.
    Rephrase the question: I was diagnosed with apnea in service and received a CPAP machine, but the claim was denied in 2008. Should I refile?
     
    • Question B. I may have PTSD- how can I be sure?
      • See how the details below give us a better understanding of what you’re claiming.
    Rephrase the question: I was involved in a traumatic incident on base in 1974 and have had nightmares ever since, but I did not go to mental health while enlisted. How can I get help?
     
    This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”

Start To Finish In 3 Months? Anxious Like Most

New poster.Frequent reader. I filed my claim for increases for the first time on may 22nd,2014. I just checked EBENES and I am in preparation for notification stage. I got out in 2009. This 3 month turn around seems incredibly fast. I am not trying to rub this in by any means, and I feel for my fellow vets that wait long waits.

I am curious as to if anyone else had a similar timeline? What was the outcome? I requested increases for 5 things and filed new claims for one(mental health/ptsd referred by doc). ANY INSIGHT at all will help to quell my anxiety and curiosity. Thank you.

Mulli,

Congrats on the fast movement. How many and what conditions did you file for? That has a lot to do with the timeline, as most ROs are averaging around a year for FDC claims. My last claim was completed in less than 7 months, and that was for 5 or 6 conditions, and now I have a current FDC for 7 or 8 conditions that I filed in June 14. Good luck and keep us posted.

I had a total of six things. Five increases and 1 new. None that would be IU which are the only thing I've seen move that fast.

Also I read that someone's moved this fast and then had two denied and three moved to administrative review. Of course I'll know soon enough. And hey one less claim means were all that much closer to getting what we deserve.
