    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:

    • Your first posts on the board may be delayed before they appear as they are reviewed. The review requirement will usually be removed by the 6th post. However, we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.

    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

You can check my post history.. Most of My disabilities are cold injury (frostbite, raynauads) You should put in for hands, feet, ears and nose.. How can you have frostbite only in one hand?? I have visible black frostbite burns all over.. I resubmitted my frostbite claim instead of appealing and landed the 90% within less then 5 months of my first award letter.. Could you post your decision letter here in the forum ?

Great Advice given above, and I too have had 8 or 9 claims denied two years ago, and now with 3 FDC claims later, they will all be granted SC at high %s. Remember that the VA wants you to give up. Just keep on going and you will win in the end. Good luck and God Bless!!!

I would seriously put in a FDC for the low balled claims. I would get current exam notes from a rheumatologist or a vascular doctor and sumbit that with your FDC. And then when the VA gives you another c&P exam use the new evidence and give that to the C&P doctor to aide them. Appeals are taking long time right now, so its your choice..
