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. 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

CRSC for Chapter 61 With Less than 20 Years
S 986 - Combat Related Special Compensation Act of 2007 Take Action!
90,000 Chapter 61 Retirees will Benefit
Please send the following editable message to your Senators ---
As your voting constituent, I strongly urge your cosponsorship and support of S 986, the Combat-Releated Special Compensation Act of 2006, introduced by Senator Harry Reid, on March 26, 2007.
As you are likely aware, the 2003 National Defense Authorization Act (PL 108-136) authorized Combat Related Special Compensation for those who voluntarily retired with 20 or more years of service but specifically discriminated against those who were involuntarily retired for medical disability with less than 20 years of retirement service under title 10 United States Code, Chapter 61.
If enacted into S 986 would grant equitable relief to approximately 90,000 Chapter 61 retirees who have combat related disabilities; however, it would not grant relief to an additional 100,000 Chapter 61 retirees who have service connected disabilities.
Please advise me of your intentions regarding cosponsorship and support of S 986.
