thankyou
Thankyou for this Thread and making it a sticky!
I would not have seen it other wise.
I am a 100% service connected Disbled veteran.
The one piece of advice I would give any veteran getting ready to apply for disability is, See a CIVILIAN Doctor before you file!
Applying to be compensated requires having ALL Current Information on your problems as well as the history.
In some instances the VA has with held vital medical information to it's financial advantage.
I will not go into specifics, but, have yourself checked out by an independant certified specialist if you plan on persuing a claim.
DOCUMENT EVERYTHING!
KEEP YOUR OWN COPIES OF EVERYTHING!
IF a Doctor or other care provider tells you something, it may not be documented, MAKE SURE IT's In WRITING!!!
Oganizations can help BUT YOU NEED the information IF you are going to back up Your claims.
The Indy VA is one of th better ones I have been to. Things are better than in the past. Most problems I have had there have been dealt with appropriately.
Thankyou also to the OP for sticking your neck out to make the thread in the first place.
