    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?”

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew veteran friendly DRs in Arizona, as a PCP or those who do Evaluations and IMOs? I am aware of DR. Anaise, but I don't have the money to pay for an IMO and he does not do physical evaluations. I am looking more for a PCP (I have tricare prime).

If you have a PCP where you live  or your wife has one  you may want to ask them to give you an IMO/IME or what ever you need, just ask that's all you need to do other than letting them know what you need form them  and let them know to use the VA lingo  like AS LIKELY AS NOT CAUSED  BY OR RELATED TOO.  TheDr should know  what to do and how to write you an medical opinion

AS FOR AS THE MONEY  YOU JUST HAVE TO WORK THAT OUT WITH THE DR..I WAS IN THE SAME SITUATION YEARS AGO AND DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY ,  SO I ASK THE DR IF I CAN COME BACK AND PAY HIM WHEN I WIN MY CLAIM  BUT UNFORTUNATELY  I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THAT WILL BE ? Dr SAID SURE THATS FINE 

(THESE ARE CALLED VETERAN FRIENDLY DR AND WILLING TO HELP A VET)

BUT LET THE DR KNOW YOU HAVE MY WORD I WILL PAY YOU AS SOON AS I CAN RAKE UP THE MONEY...IF THE Dr WON'T DO IT??

  JUST CALL AROUND UNTIL YOU FIND A DR THAT WILL...JUST BE OPEN AND HONEST WITH THESE DR'S AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT YOU NEED FROM THEM. ( A MEDICAL OPINION)..ON WHAT YOUR CLAIMING.

   IF THIS IS TO ESTABLISH SERVICE CONNECTION THE LET THE DR KNOW   OR LET THE DR KNOW WHY YOU NEED HIS /HER  HELP.

  HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY WITH THESE DR'S.
