Tips on posting on the forums.
-
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.

Can a 100 percent Disabled Veteran Work and Earn an Income?

Question
john999
I got a book called "The Veterans Survival Guide". It is very good in describing the claims process. It has some good information on what to appeal when given an inadequate C&P Exam. It is very easy to read and gives step by step instructions on how and when to file a claim for compensation. I got it from Barnes and Nobel via their online store. I got a used copy for $12. The Author cites many claims where the C&P doctors did not have the veterans claims folder present and did not have the credentials to give an adequate exam. It is even worse than I thought, and he illustrates that the entire VA benefits system is incompetent and biased. I believe he worked out of a VSO at the Bay Pines VARO. After you read this book you will wonder how any vet gets fair compensation given the roadblocks the VA sets up to defeat the vet.
