    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?”
     
    Note:

    You’ve just been rated 100% disabled by the Veterans Affairs. After the excitement of finally having the rating you deserve wears off, you start asking questions. One of the first questions that you might ask is this: It’s a legitimate question – rare is the Veteran that finds themselves sitting on the couch eating bon-bons … Continue reading

Receiving SSDI can almost guarantee, a claimant, TDIU, provided the SSDI is based on the same conditions, that are being claimed for TDIU. If you receive an award from SS, you should, immediately, not

The VA and SSA each having their own standards or requirements. For awarding your Social Security Disability Insurance and/or SC service-connection. I've never heard of the VA denying SC because one was already receiving SSDI. The SSA can make a determination on SSDI using solely your SC/VA medical records. IMO....SSDI would help with proving SC, if they disability was a direct result of service. If service connection is denied? Its because there was no connection proving injury.

It will be very difficult for VA to deny you TDIU IF social security has determined you are disabled by the same conditions that VA says are service connected. Check you ss award letter and see the reasons they say you cant work. If those reasons are all service connected by VA, you should be get TDIU.

I had quit work Oct 1, 2010, then I applied for SSDI a week later. I was awarded four months later in Feb 2011 but couldn't draw until April 2011 which was the 6 month waiting period. I had filed for VA disability in Jan 2011 and was awarded 80% in May 2012 with some items deferred. My second Big Brown Envelope I received in Oct and then My third BBE in December awarding me SMC S.
