    Have Questions? Get Answers.

    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?”

    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

Thanks to Vike17 for this guide.

I have saved it so that it's available for me to send to any vet, young or old, who is new to the VA Disability Claims process.

-- John D.

P.S. It's also good for us vets who HAVE been through the system as the Guide is a good concise outline of info that we all should know.

Tbird,

Where is the self-help guide? I am no longer able to access it from the link at the bottom of this post. I read it before and would like to read it again but I can't find it on the site (and I used the Google search hadit.com tool as well as trying to get to it from your posted link).

Thanks,

ts

Gary,

Just go to the link TBird posted below and there it is.

Once it opens up, just do a Copy & Paste into a new document (like Word or maybe Wordpad) and you can save it for future reference even if it gets lost here on the forum.

If you have MS-Word, I can send it to your e-mail address in Word 6 format, or, even Wordpad probably could open it. Sending it as ASCII text (Notepad), the Guide loses all the formatting and it's hard to read.

Additionally, and probably the EASIEST way, you can just open the link, then go to File, Save As (it's already appropriately named), and save it as a HTML web page (on your Desktop or in some personal folder so you can find it in the future) which your web browser -- MSIE, FireFox, etc. -- can open any time you want.
