I don’t say thank you enough to all of you...

[Tbird]

You, yes you, are the reason HadIt.com has remained a resource-rich resource. Thousands come each month to read, ask questions, or to feel a sense of community.

Last month June 2020, we over 50k visitors they viewed over 160k pages. Veterans and their advocates, spouses, children, and friends of veterans come looking for answers. Because we have posts dating back 15 years and articles on the home page, they usually can find an answer or at least get pointed in the right direction.

You all made that possible. Thank you.

I usually come to answer questions, but I started out asking them.  I dont often get "stumped" anymore, at least not when it comes to benefits. However, I still have areas where  Im still "weak", such as on DIC and widows benefits, thank God we have Berta for that.  Im pretty sure I have answered at least 12,000 questions.  

Years ago a school teacher told me, "You dont really learn something until you try to TEACH it."

I have won all my benefits, back to 2002, even tho multiple Vets advocates, including more than one attorney, said that would not happen.  Persistence, preperation and knowledge seem to work when other stuff does not.

I sure appreciate all of the members here who take the time to help each other and I appreciate when they bolster their advice with specific regulations or any type of hyperlinks that can help the veteran or survivor as well.

That can be a very time consuming thing, working off the site, researching information via Google, M21-1MR, BVA, OGC Pes Ops, CAVC decisions and 38 CFR, et all, info that they - or even the hundreds of guests read during each week- might surely need.

VSOs, vet reps, and even vet lawyers will not  take that time in most cases, because it does take Time.

Our personal experiences as well as established VA case law not only helps our readership- but also does encourage others who are waiting for decisions.

Evidence is everything and we cannot stress that enough.

Broncovet mentioned widows benefits and they are usually involving issues which are complex or issues that will be very difficult to succeed in.

We had a member with a problem like that recently.It took me a great deal of time using Google, BVA, CAVC, and I did some medical research, to get the links and info she will need, because ,the claim for DIC in her case will be VERY difficult and could involve a very costly IMO, but , as I have learned, with VA.... NOTHING is Impossible, but it takes time, persistence, and lots of leg work,on the claimant's part.

I also advised her of what VA will use ,to deny the claim.That can be avoided with a very strong IMO.

And even a strong IMO might fall short of advancing the claim-if it does not even  warrant a statement of Relative Equipoise, being applied-----neither IMO/IME doctors or good vet lawyers can perform miracles, if the evidence cannot be found.

You deserve it Tbird.  When I got to this website I did not know what TDIU meant.  A year later I had it plus retro.  This is a good place.

[Tbird]

I’m glad we could help.

[john999]

We should be thanking you and not you thanking us. You provided the website for years for free.  Least we can do is to help out for what you have done.
