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.
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.
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:
Post 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?”

Your first posts on the board may be delayed before they appear as they are reviewed. This process does not take long.
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.
This process allows us to remove spam and other junk posts before hitting the board. We want to keep the focus on VA Claims, and this helps us do that.
Most Common VA Disabilities Claimed for Compensation:
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
Ihave read fla_viking, and John 999 opinionn out sorsing the war and our troors paying 40 dollars for a six pack of coke. If this is true its pathetic. I've talked to alot of vets who have been there,but never heard any thing like this, And Icertinly wuld ot put much credance to anything bil moyer has to say on it because he is anti everything ths country stands for.I wonderhow any years he spent in the military. Iwouldguess nne along withall his hoolywood elite friend.
World War three was declsired on this nation Under the Clinton administrtion.
Anyone who knows any thing about history remembers the ottaman empower. They nearly took over the world once and are tring again. If we roll over now, every veteran who has served since wwi waste their lives for nothing. We dont speak German today because of their sacrafices, but I'l guaranteed we will be speaking aribic tommorw if we dont take these riligous fanatics down.
We have lost over 3000 fine young men and women in iraq and scores are coming back ruined pysically, to face another enemy ( the va and it failure to care) If we want to do somethin to help in this war we need someone to step up and orginizes us to prepare the home front for them when they return. A squad cant do what it takes a division to do.
As far the billions we are spending on defense. We have weapons that are very effective, but they cost alot of money. Our casualties would probably be 100 times more without them. Cant you imagine what the peacenics would be doing then (remmember hanoi jane and the dung bag) As far as out sorseng,I agree its costing a lot of money But look at how many american troops lives have been saved as well having them available for fighting if need be.
Iam fighting the va for what I think I deserve and incourage you all to do the same,But we had better remmember there is more in our defence budget than us, and if we don't win this war ( and it is War )none of us will have to worry when our next va check is coming. Again rememmber the ottaman empire, and make no mistake about it this is the same religios fanatics, Beheaded people like us who are disabled or those who didn't conform to (alla) .I think we might consider this also If we decide to cut and run.
I say kick their ass's in iraq instead of loosing to them on american soil.
I know everyone wont agree but atleast today we have the right to disagree and keep our heads. Just my
