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.

Question
robert51
I was after 2 1/2 years granted SSD last Sept. well even though i told them many many times my address they mailed my retro check to an old address and it sat there for months.. Well i finally got it in March about 1 week ago... my questions first do i claim it as 2006 when it was sent or 2007 when it was received? Second question on the back is a little test to see if you will owe taxes .. My lump sum minus the lawyers fee and medicare B was lower then i expected as they did not pay me for the children yet.. so i took the little test and added my SSD check and then it says divide in half etc etc and in the end it says if its lower then 25.000 and your single you pay NO taxes??? Well mine was 21,000 and i have a wife and 3 kids at home so does this mean i dont have to do a tax returne???
