How to get your questions answered...

How to get your questions answered...
All VA Claims questions should be posted on our forums. Read the forums without registering, to post you must register it’s free. Register for a free account.
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’.
Knowledgable 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 huge, 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 to:
Post clear questions and then give background info on them.
Examples:
A. I was previously denied for apnea – Should I refile a claim?
I was diagnosed with apnea in service and received a CPAP machine but claim was denied in 2008. Should I refile?
B. I may have PTSD- how can I be sure?
I was involved in 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 from your claim?” etc.
Note:
Your firsts posts on the board may be delayed before they show up, as they are reviewed, this process does not take long and the review requirement will be removed usually by the 6th post, though we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.
This process allows us to remove spam and other junk posts before they hit the board. We want to keep the focus on VA Claims and this helps us do that.-

FYI- SOME VAMCs are Open for Exams again
brokensoldier244th posted a question in VA Disability Compensation Benefits Claims Research Forum,
Exams that were being sent strictly to contractors before, due to VAMCs not being open, are starting to be routed back to VAMCs. This is going forward from last Friday- not sure if prior scheduled exams will be re-created for VAMC vs vendor.-

Latest News
There was some information (apparently) that NVLSP does not serve individual Veterans. Not true. They have criteria, yes, but they do represent Veterans at no cost to the Veteran.
In reading their site, they do not represent a Veteran UNLESS he has a DD214 (or one can be obtained).
Short list of things that NVLSP does:
1. Correct military records.
2. Combat related special compensation.
3. MEB-Physical disability board.
4. MST issues.
5. Wrongful Personality disorder/adjustment disorder. Instead of VA granting PTSD, they sometimes mislabel it as a personality disoreder or adjustment disorder to get out of paying you. Contact NVLSP.
6. Discharge upgrade.
Sometimes these are complex issues where a lawyer is needed.
Source: https://www.nvlsp.org/what-we-do/lawyers-serving-warriors/board-for-correction-of-military-records-bcmr/
7. I will add that "if you have a BVA denial" you can send that denial to NVLSP and the can make a determination if you are eligible for representation to the CAVC.
8. Dont forget Nehmer (Vietnam) Vets, too.
