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

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
I have been getting service connected disablity and TDUI starting date for the that was Sept 03 but I appeal for a earlier effectived date right away so they sent me for another Cp exam and I hope I didn't piss them off and now I won't get nothing and get it taken away. i got a letter with the form 9 to file but I am afraid if I do they might take everything from me. I have been out of the Army since 80 and left with a service connction of a torn urether and now after all that time working to get 100 percent pay, they still denie my back was broke while in Service. Although the paper work now does say it is service contected and 40% on my back and about 5 other things. So, was is anyones thought about continuing...I don't know how to get the police records of the accident and I am hoping I can find the other man that was pinned in there with myself and if he got anything from the accident and what he thinks I should do or if he has the police report. I am afraid to fill the form out because i have no proof except for the hospital report while I was in service. Please let me know if I should just let it go before I end up with lsoing everything I have now. Thank you for any advice
