    Tips on posting on the forums.

    1. 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.
       
    2. 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.
       
    3. 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:

    exclamation-point.pngPost 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. The review requirement will usually be removed by the 6th post. However, we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.

    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

Hi all!

I just wanted to let you know that I was on the phone with an agent about my auto ins. premium and I asked about a discount for a Disabled Vet. I told the agent everything, my percentage, how long, that it was Service Connected. In any case, I have Geico and live in NY. The agent put me on hold to ask and came back with a yes! I was very happy. I think it was about a 10% discount, which is great to me. They wanted to make sure I received a check and what branch I was in, that was it.

So I wanted to pass this along. Just call and ask your agent, they may say yes too.

Have a great day!

Thanks that is a great tip. I understand that GEICO is quite competitive in the first place.

Cavman - I thought I had seen you before hahahahahahahha :angry:

I have had insurance with the lizard for about 15 years. My agent knows that I am a diasabled veteran but has never said anything about a discount. You can betcha sweet bippie that I will hit him up in the next few days. If he has been screwing me over then I will crush the lizard B)

I have my Insurance with Progressive because they have been easy to deal with and the Agent who sold it to me treated me well. They have online service.

Saturday we upgraded cars. Replace our old 1996 Cadillac with 169,000 miles and some performance issues with a 2003 Cadillac with 27,000 Miles. Our payments are less than buying a new Toyota.

Anyway I changed my insurance online dropped a car and added the new one and got the insurance that if I die the note will be paid off. My premium went up 17 dollars a month.

I made all the changes in less than 10 minutes and printed my new insurance card to boot.
