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?
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

Question
pacmanx1
Shock and in awe, well the BVA finally decided to address my last remand. Talk about going around in circles. The BVA judge still refused to address all my issues even after my last CAVC JMR. Now I am trying to figure out my next move. The BVA awarded an initial rating percentage to match my correct effective date going back to my original claim but refused to review my records to award an EED of my TDIU rating going back to my last day of work.
When the VARO received my BVA grant, the VARO decided to address the issue of my TDIU effective date and granted my EED going back to my last day of work and settled that issue. My new TDIU effective date is now covered under the 20-year protection rule.
Now I am trying to work/figure out how to get the VARO/BVA to address my CAVC JMR Order to address my SMC-S issue. I have a year to decide or let my attorney take it back to the CAVC, but I still have one last AMA appeal at the BVA that might take care of that issue. Time to address my forever home dreams.

Congratulations. Yes, SMC S is supposed to be aduticated whenever tdiu/100 percent is awarded. If they dont, (address it) then apply for it.
