    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?”

    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

Hi I'm new, first time posting. Just won a new award 80% Connected disabilities. 50% anxiety disorder which I think I'm being low balled. Should I try for TDIU? Also I got zero percent for Intertrigo and Raynaud's disease, should I give a NOD to each of the three? Have been out of work since Oct 2013. Any advice or tips or words to how to get them to recognize my anxiety disorder should be higher than 50%? Thank you.

RevanOmega,

Google 38 CFR part 4.16 for info on determining your eligibility for TDIU.

You should also review 38 CFR part 4 and find the info on the different medical conditions you have and are considering the filing of a NOD. By comparing your current symptoms with symptoms listed in the different percentage levels n the Schedule of Ratings, you should be able to tell if you were low balled and if a NOD is feasible. Note: If your symptoms are listed in two different percentage levels in the Schedule of Ratings, the VA is supposed to award the percentage of the level showing more of your symptoms.

Good luck to you and thank you for your service.
