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
It seems the VA is up to something here comping all these new vets so fast..Did they have to sign papers that they would accept any % they were awarded & not having to go thru the ro's that would kill any Nods.? That's the only thing I can see that would make sense as the older Vets are dying off. Vietnam was the BAD WAR but if the draft was still around I don't think everyone would be as happy with this one.These guys will sign anything to get out of the Military & the truth will come out about why these guys got comped so fast. Maybe if they do this their approval rating goes a lot higher so "See we love our Vets & take care of them" This war was fought so some GREEDY OLE MEN could get close to unlimited oil & over charge the Government every chance they got & maybe were approved by the White House so there was more money to go around & no bid Contracts. That's a contractors dream.This is the USA but we went to war over a lie. Same as the Gulf of Tonkin. Another problem here. To the people in Iraq this is a Holy War & when we leave that Country like we did Viet Nam (Ran out) it may not end there.They might still be upset that we came there & started a Civil War & left. For any Service Men to die over money is deplorable.If any one knows a comped Person that was over in Iraq Please question then & find out what the VA is up to. By the way. See how many Pardons Bush gives out before he leaves Office & leaves his mess behind.
