Everything you read on Hadit or any other forum is not allways true and

not to your advantage. Be wise at the decisions you make on your claims

everyone don't have the same interest as you. Advice is good but when

the advice is bad what you get from forums and you like certain things

because of something someone says to you that is right for you is not always

the correct answer. I only post when things don't sound right to ME giving advice

is one thing but bad advice is another.People will tell you anything so believe

what you like don't make it right. DONT trust everything you read only what make sense.

A lot of people don't have a clue of whats going on everything shine ant gold. Think for your

self don't sound right it ant. I wont pay for an attorney mistake never will .jmho

Always keep in mind that most who post on hadit.com try to inform all posters/viewers to be their own advocate and do their own research/homework. The bottom line it is up to them. The poster/viewer

I think if we disagree with someone just agree to disagree, also to me in my opinion a lot of this is stressful anyway and some of us just get to personal & our feelings and emotions take over and some times the results are as stated above.

I think everyone on hadit has good intentions helping veterans with their claims experience, even if some of us don't agree with some of the information, usually it gets resolved and another vet has learned more about the claims process.

Everyone working together here on hadit is what makes hadit the web site it is.

Most of us have learned a lot here on hadit and most of us have a lot more to learn.

In my opinion, if you dont want a comment on something, dont post it. They will get pro and con opinions. Everytime.

In the post being referred to, the poster could have left that (lawyer) detail out and what he was trying to express "a win" would have still stood on its own. Instead, he took a jab a attorneys.

Attorneys have there place and again, some have had success with them and some have not. I have not used one yet, however, my wife did with SSDI very successfully.

I primarily only relate to what has actually happened to me personally, i.e., not a freind of mine, someong told me, etc..

But I can give a jab out now and again if the subject is for conversation purposes, like lawyers are good or lawyers suck.

Thanks,

In my opinion, if you dont want a comment on something, dont post it.

Sorry you feel like that bud, but I agree with all the Good Folks above. I have been on Hadit for over 3 years, and I would have been lost and never got as far as I have in such a short period. I have all the Degrees in the world, but I was just as Ignorant on VA and SSA guidelines and regulations as the next. In my opinion 99.9% of what is posted on Hadit is very helpful in one form or another. I get your frustration, but as anything else in the world, nothing is perfect. I will say that in my opinion, if Hadit was to Disappear today, a lot of Helpless Homeless and Starving Vets would be lost on the VA path. Hope you feel better about the situation.

wise up people or veterans do research on your own people

will tell you anything but nothing to help.. I say this because

I been going to VA 6 years and be talking with veteran at all times

no one ever told me about travel pay. 6 years but one old man in a wheel

chair who gave me some GOOD advice Help other veterans who don't

know what to do. I been do this a long time help many veteran get their benefits

but I tell it like it is. ok

I'm closing this topic.

The original poster of the topic in question asked that it be removed which I did.

If you want to ignore someone you can put them on your ignore list.

I am writing my memoirs and would love it if you could help a shipmate out and look at it.

I've had a few challenges, perhaps the same as you. I relate them here to demonstrate that we can learn, overcome, and find purpose in life.

The stories can be harrowing to read; they were challenging to live. Remember that each story taught me something I would need once I found my purpose, and my purpose was and is HadIt.com Veterans.

      Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection

      Tbird posted a record in VA Claims and Benefits Information,

      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Post in Chevron Deference overruled by Supreme Court

      broncovet posted a post in a topic,

      VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.

    • Post in Re-embursement for non VA Medical care.

      broncovet posted an answer to a question,

      Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

    • Post in What is the DIC timeline?

      broncovet posted an answer to a question,

      Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
