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

Subject: Veteran's pay while politicians play!
VETERANS 63 YEARS AND WAITING! 3/18/07
The DOD programs conducted on "hundreds of thousands" "experiments that were
designed to harm"! [5] Their cause and effects are not in the subject's
Medical History! Their resulting disabilities are not in the VA "schedule of
ratings for disabilities". [4] This Chief Judge's "may not review" [4]
evidence is not available for all past, present and future victim diagnosis
and treatment: 1. By civilian Health Maintenance Organization and Dept. of
Veterans Affairs (VA) Physicians'! 2. For the totality of each group's no
(preventing victim alert) long term "to harm" follow up results, i.e., the
U.S. SENATE Report's [5] from 1944, now 63 YEARS of lost "disabilities"
lessons learned! And 3. For use as evidence during U.S. Executive (DOD & VA)
and Judicial Branch processes! The subjects' never the wiser become, e.g.,
Congress's recent "Veterans Right to Know Act" failures.
Now in YOUR Medical History?
As recorded by the in 2006 established civilian Biomedical Advanced Research
and Development Authority (BARDA)? [7] Under its "NATIONAL SECURITY
MISSIONS" is the advancement of the Department of Defense (DOD) Project SHAD
"Biomedical" lessons. [6] The under the war cover BARDA, also lacks the
Shipboard Hazard and Defense (SHAD) oversight and accountability. In 2007
duplicated is the DOD 50 years of "designed to harm"! [5]
BARDA follows DOD R&D Practice.
Each "to harm" project completes the Research and Development (R&D) process.
Prior R&D is reviewed, e.g., Project SHAD. The resulting Scope of Work
defines what each experiment is "designed" to accomplish. The how, where,
when and who is spelled out. The conducted RESEARCH cause and effects are
closely followed and recorded. From the results DEVELOPED is safe
production, in-the-field use, treatment and protection. AT THE TIME, AND
LONG AFTER THEY ARE DOD OUT-OF-DATE, THIS EXPERIMENT REVEALING CAUSE AND
EFFECTS ARE NOT IN A SUBJECT'S MEDICAL HISTORY.
The 1994 U.S. Senate Report's NOTES (No.'s 72, 168 & 169) cite, "The Nazi
Doctors and the Nuremberg Code, Human Rights in Human Experimentation." [5]
Not addressed by the U.S. Congress and U.S. Courts are the many conducted in
direct disobedience of the DOD Secretary's 1953 'Nuremberg' order; "The Nazi
Doctors" pages 343-345. [2] With the Secretary's of all U.S. Military
Services and the DOD R&D Board then known! This ignored order was TOP SECRET
until 1975, 22 YEARS LATER. The subjects are prevented from finding out, by
its "need to know." As under the in 2007 BARDA "NATIONAL SECURITY MISSIONS".
The 1994 Report noted that rights be restored. To-date not done!
The 12 July 1973 National Personnel Records Center fire destroyed "to harm"
service records. Congress's 12 December 1974 Privacy Act censored the names
of all witnesses from surviving and future records. "The court may not
review the schedule of ratings for disabilities or the policies underlying
the schedule.", i.e., the needed for treatment "designed to harm" results!
[5] The Veterans Court Chief Judge's statement during 17 & 18 Oct. 1994. [4]
His severely restricted 12/18/88 established 'no teeth' court is Congress's
oversight and accountability 6/25/87 STANLEY response. One of the U.S.
Supreme Court decisions on: 1. The 1950 FERES Case that prevents recourse on
DOD "harm" as "incident" to service. [1] And 2. The DOD STANLEY 1953 order
disobeyed 1958 confirming Case. [3] The 1st an "incident" and the 2nd an
"experiments" decision. Made very clear is that UNLESS CONGRESS CHANGES IT,
BY REASON OF MILITARY SERVICE VETERANS' LOST ARE PRIOR TO CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHTS. Thought is that the DOD and VA "disabilities" coverage provides
remedy.
H.R. 4259 [109th]: Veterans Right to Know Act to establish the Veterans'
Right to Know Commission bill (A now 63 years later STUDY!!) was proposed in
the 2005 & 2006 Congresses. At the end of each session all proposed bills
that haven't passed are cleared from the books. This bill never became law.
Will BARDA's needed for treatment evidence be part of YOUR Medical History?
A politically contrived justice denied for the greater good, end justifies
the "to harm" means. Make the checks and balances within and between our
branches of government work! Only when you hold your members in the U.S.
Congress responsible will this happen!
