How-tos that stay on the rails

Short sequences. Official links. No one here takes a percentage of a rating.

Disability

Evidence first, then the form. An accredited VSO if you want someone in the chair with you.

Active duty

180 to 90 days before ETS. Miss it and you file after you are out.

Education

The school certifies. VA pays. You need the COE in the middle.

Housing

The guaranty is not a pre-approval. The COE is the first official paper.

Health

Enrollment is a group assignment, not a membership card that means the same thing for everyone.

Disability

Presumptive lists change. The claim is still a diagnosis plus service plus a current problem.

Disability

New evidence is Supplemental. Same record is Higher-Level Review. The Board is later and slower.

Claims help

Accreditation is a searchable public list. A Facebook “claims guy” is not the same thing.

Active duty

Separation is four clocks. Treat them as one page on the wall.
