For intelligent help with claims, especially for vets with HCV, ASKNOD, rules. There is a mix of humor mixed in too. It’s an active blog with a few guest bloggers. Lots of reading but worth it.

HCVets is an important website for those seeking information on HCV.

Thanks, Ed! I see that on Facebook as well.

The cool thing about Blogs is that they can reach a wider audience – letting civilians know the War that Vets have to fight when they get back from Combat could be helpful in motivating Congress to make some changes.

A well written blog can put some money in a blogger’s pocket, too. (This blog does not generate any revenue, by the way..it’s informational only)

Thanks for your service!

Chris, I see Vets discussing their struggles with the VA on Facebook through military organization groups. I served in the 295th MP Co at Seneca Army Depot. Many of those posts relate to possible symptoms from serving there and frustrations with VA claims.

The Vets don’t take that extra step to set-up the blog because they have the organizational outlet on Facebook.
