Thanks for the replies, I initially filed but was awarded 0% because I think there was an issue with the C & P exams. I didn't appeal or request increase I simply filed a new claim, probably from lack of knowing what I was doing. So this decision is from the claim submitted in December of 2014/

Hello All, Thank you for everyone who contributes I have found tons of valuable information. My claim was filed 12/15/2014 According to ebenefits it was just completed. On the disability page I have three different dates for contentions: For example: Degenerative Joint Disease, Service Connected, Pre-discharge Exam 6/26/2014 PTSD Service Connected, PTSD-Combat 6/25/2013 Tinnitus, Service Connected, 12/15/2014 My question is does any know if the backpay will just start with the claim file date, 12/15/2014 or will it possibly be backdated per contention? Thanks in advance

Hello All, I have been reading the forums and am thankful for the useful information I have found. My claim was just settled tonight, based on Ebenefits, and said I was awarded 70%. My question comes from looking at the disability section on the website and it provides three different dates. I was wondering if there anyone knows for sure what would be the date the VA will look to award backpay. For reference it says something like: Strain, left knee (previously under dc 5257) service connected. Pre discharge Exam. 6/26/2014 Degenerative join disease, right shoulder (previously under dc 5201-5003)/ service connected/ pre-dischare exam/ 6/26/2014 PTSD/ service connected/ PTSD-Combat/ 6/25/2013 Tinnitus Service connected 12/15/2014 My claim was filed on 12/15/2014. Any insight is much appreciated.
