From 40% to 100% thanks to Hadit.com
When I departed the service in the 1990’s, I used local VSOs and blindly trusted their guidance. After years of appeals, I finally received at 40% rating and felt it was a long overdue relief. The VSO’s were very friendly and accommodating, but really did not go beyond helping me fill out paperwork. In 2009,… Read more “From 40% to 100% thanks to Hadit.com”

Percentage Has Doubled & Continues to Climb!
Hi All, Long story short: Filed a claim for an increase in October 2014 at the advice of two other vets, and all claim submissions were denied. I cried and was depressed for at least a month. As others have said, fighting the VA should be a mental health claim in and of itself! One… Read more “Percentage Has Doubled & Continues to Climb!”
Nine Years Later, Won At BVA, Many Thanks to Hadit.com
For years the entire VA claims process was a mystery to me. I was like Dorothy (well, not LITERALLY like her, I’m a man, but…) in the Wizard of Oz. They’d flash the lightning and thunder and deny and I would put my head down and go away and just lick my wounds. Then, one… Read more “Nine Years Later, Won At BVA, Many Thanks to Hadit.com”

I’m a very old voice
I’m a very old voice from the past, back in the day HadIt.com was a “bulletin Board” run by a gracious lady by the name of “T-Bird”. I had been diagnosed immediately after discharge with General Anxiety Disorder and low-balled at 10%. I found that to be a ridiculous grant and immediately started my long,… Read more “I’m a very old voice”

River behind the ears
I had applied for VA benefits in the past and had been rated, however i was “lucky” because my evidence was good for the claims, but not because of any work i did, i was just lucky i had a good C&P examiner who went above and beyond (we know thats not the usual). When… Read more “River behind the ears”

I was Blinded by the VA
Trying to make this as short as I can! Got out in ’72, filed a claim. During the C&P I was treated like dog crap. Never heard anything about it and never wanted to go back to a VA facility again. Years go by and with farther communications I tried several times to go back. Everytime… Read more “I was Blinded by the VA”

How Hadit.com helped me with my VA Claim
Without the information available on Hadit.com, I’d likely still be hung up on the infamous Squirrel Cage of VA claims processing. Even so, there are still outstanding problems created by the VA’s claims system and it’s improper handling of claims and flawed decision making process. With all of that, the information and advice, including the… Read more “How Hadit.com helped me with my VA Claim”
