Helping Veterans Navigate VA Disability Claims

All 10 rules of r/VAClaims

You can express personal opinions about claim companies, not demand that other users abide by them.
This is to address the issue of Claim Sharks. Yes, there are some predatory companies out there that should be avoided. However, many veterans have had great difficulty with the available options and if they want to use a private company, that's completely their choice, not yours. Demanding that they don't, and spouting anecdotal statements only creates confusion, frustration, and more difficulty for those Vets who are perfectly capable of making the choice to use a private company or not.
Refrain From Using Profanity
Refrain from using profanity in your posts and comments, for the simple reason that it instantly lowers other users opinions of your intelligence. Profanity is unproductive, and will reduce the importance of the information or experience you're relaying to the forum.
Be Helpful, and Support Statements You Make with Clickable Links to Official Sources That Confirm.
Try to help others with their VA questions if you can. Don’t post unhelpful or abusive comments. Include a clickable hyperlink citing and supporting any statements you make when providing information about VA laws, rules, and regulations, and processes, etc..
Pay Companies that Help File Your Claim and Get you an Increased Rating. It's hard work.
Self-filing can be enormously frustrating unless you have all your ducks in a row, know the system, and have C&P Examiners on your side. Many VSO's are burned out from volunteering. They may not always be willing to do the leg work. VA Lawyers often charge an arm and a leg up front. Private companies have connections with Doctors for nexus letters, and can provide personalized assistance to get the rating your deserve. If you agree and sign a contract with them, you're set for life. HONOR IT.
Provide Links to VA Regulations to Support Your Statements.
All help given on the r/VAClaims reddit page is appreciated. However, when providing an answer we walk the line between what is factually true and what we have heard is factually true from others. Links to C.F.R. Chapter 31 and to VA manuals interpreting these benefits and how they're to be awarded, would most likely not be read, because those who post questions need an answer or help for their problem. So don't just repeat what you've heard. instead: post, and provide a link to the source.
Maintain a Positive Attitude.
I took an Uber to work this week, and my driver was a 6-year Army vet. I told him about how my small business, VA Claims, LLC (vaclaims.us) helps veterans increase their rating. He went through the process for 11 years and got $300,000 backpay! Maintain a positive attitude, claims typically go: *denial* *granted* *denial* *granted*. r/VAClaims is here to help and support you, and if you're interested in getting a strong, winning claim, with a nexus letter, then visit: vaclaims.us TODAY!
Only Post Rating Increases and Success Stories in the Highlight Designated for Success Stories
Please refrain from posting screenshots of your VA rating in the main thread. While it’s great to celebrate your achievement, the front page thread is focused on seeking and offering advice. Let’s keep the main space dedicated to helping others navigate their claims and sharing useful information.
Only Post VA Policy/News in the Megathread
Hello! Thank you for posting. Please post any policy/law/news etc in the megathread under the pages highlights. This is to keep the main thread clear for advice. Thank you!
No donation links, gofundme, or asking for money
No Politics
After discussion with the members of this sub, we are choosing to keep this sub politic free. This sub is only for veterans to assist other veterans in the VA disability claim process. If you would like to post any politic posts, please post them in r/VeteransPolitics, or any other sub you choose. All politic posts will be removed, including: any news articles, comments regarding politics, political articles, etc. Thank you for understanding.

What the written rules don't show

Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.

Let your AI read the rules before it posts.

ThreadFox reads a community's current rules, writes a post that fits them, posts once with Reddit's Brand affiliate tag and checks it stayed up. The free ThreadFox Lite reads rules too.
