What its rules say about promotion
We're Ad-Free
Do **NOT** recommend or request help finding a non-VSO accredited representative (attorneys/claim agents) OR non-accredited claim representative/claim 'service'. This does include but is not limited to discussion of 'claim sharks' or 'nexus providers'. Also, no self promotions, including your own handle and profile. Posting links to useful content (videos, blogs, web pages) is not always considered advertising, but posts/comments that we determine to be purely promotional will be deleted.
Get verified if you want to say you work for XXX
If you are a VA employee, VSO, Accredited Claims Agent, etc. Your credentials **MUST** be verified via the sub's [Mod Mail](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=/r/VeteransBenefits) **BEFORE** you can claim to be someone of such authority. Users who have completed the process will have an appropriate user flair. UPDATE: We are no longer verifying attorneys or agents at this time. That said, those who have not been verified are grandfathered, but may not advertise themselves here.
No AI
The use of or advertising of AI tools, etc in posts/comments is not allowed. We have found AI resources to be largely inaccurate, misleading, or questionably utilize PII and other sensitive information when used.

All 10 rules of r/VeteransBenefits
- Help others
Let's keep it simple. This is a no BS zone. If your comment wouldn't be helpful to the poster, don't make it. - We're Ad-Free
Do **NOT** recommend or request help finding a non-VSO accredited representative (attorneys/claim agents) OR non-accredited claim representative/claim 'service'. This does include but is not limited to discussion of 'claim sharks' or 'nexus providers'. Also, no self promotions, including your own handle and profile. Posting links to useful content (videos, blogs, web pages) is not always considered advertising, but posts/comments that we determine to be purely promotional will be deleted. - No Politics
This is a forum to discuss Veterans Benefits that have been codified, not potential/rumored changes to our benefits. This is also not the place to discuss political matters. Why? Because it inevitably ends up with name calling and other non-productive behaviors - post to r/VeteranPolitics instead. - Don't doxx yourself, or anyone else
Respect Reddit's tradition of anonymity and don't disclose your information or that of others. Please no phone numbers, emails, license numbers, or other contact information. This also includes QR codes (the box with black and white squares) on decision letters. This rule does NOT apply to private entities such as VSOs or other official agencies. EXAMPLE: It's fine to post the VA's phone number, but not an examiner's professional/personal contact information. - News should only be posted once
Breaking news often gets posted and reposted. We all enjoying seeing news posted ONCE, but a dozen posts saying basically the same thing not so much - and this also makes discussion tough, since nobody knows which post to comment on. - Memes are for Mondays
Please keep the Meme posts to Mondays. - Get verified if you want to say you work for XXX
If you are a VA employee, VSO, Accredited Claims Agent, etc. Your credentials **MUST** be verified via the sub's [Mod Mail](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=/r/VeteransBenefits) **BEFORE** you can claim to be someone of such authority. Users who have completed the process will have an appropriate user flair. UPDATE: We are no longer verifying attorneys or agents at this time. That said, those who have not been verified are grandfathered, but may not advertise themselves here. - Keep claim/pay status posts and success story posts to the weekly pinned thread
As status and success stories tend to overwhelm the sub, we find it best to corral posts relating to statuses of claims/pay and success stories to a dedicated thread. For a dedicated space for status and success posts please see: r/VeteransWaitingRoom r/VeteransSuccess - No Coaching
Coaching is telling someone how to behave, respond, react, etc to get a certain outcome. This is considered fraudulent behavior and is not supported or allowed here. - No AI
The use of or advertising of AI tools, etc in posts/comments is not allowed. We have found AI resources to be largely inaccurate, misleading, or questionably utilize PII and other sensitive information when used.
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.
