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.
-
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?

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

Question
Berta
There are some weird claims at the BVA.
What gets me is the time they take from valid claims.
http://www.va.gov/vetapp96/files1/9605113.txt
"The veteran contends, in effect, that he is permanently
precluded from performing any substantially gainful
employment due to paralysis. He asserts that his disability
is not the product of willful misconduct. He further
contends that he is entitled to special monthly pension based
on the need for aid and attendance or at the housebound rate."
The vet shot his wife and the cops shot the vet and the resulting paralysis of the veteran is from that.
Order
"Accordingly, as the
veteran’s disability is the result of his own willful
misconduct, his claims must be denied."
A widow however years ago shot and killed her vet husband in apparent self defense.
She served jail times for many years however-finally got out of jail and the VA awarded her DIC due to finding that the veteran's PTSD from service had contributed to his death by virtue of years of documented violence towards his wife which the VA felt was due to his PTSD and in this way the veteran himself had caused the fatal gun shot that the wife fired because of his PTSD as contributing to his death.
