    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

I don't have an example but I do think that you need to explain why you need a quicker consideration. About to be homeless or a terminal illness is about all that works.

Another route is to go to the VARO if you can an ask for a Councellor and explain that you need a consideration as quick as possible. My experience is that when I took someone to meet them face to face it really helped.

I agree with Pete-

I have a terminal vet I helped whose rep said he would help him, file for hardship and faster decision-

I told the vet to give the vet rep his recent discharge certificate from the hospial and any medical narrative the VA doc wrote as his cancer is terminal, and he cant last too long.

Financial hardship- mortgage foreclosure notices,Property tax foreclosure threats- bankruptcy statements -they might help- but this type of request assumes the award should be made.

As long as the VA has probative medical evidence to award they might consider a financial hardship case- but I think they would favor terminal illness over that.

It just takes a letter with any evidence of hardship attached to it-

how long has it been since you filed your claim?

Have you heard anything at all from the VA ?
