How Much Longer

[Marti]

I was diagnosed December 1st had a c&p exam Jan.1st......30% without my spouse and child isn't cutting it....Oh also if someone reads this! I put in a claim in 2008 and not knowing at the time I had ALS, It took two years for the doctors to figure out what I had and I was wondering if I would get retro pay for those two years.

I will survive

You should get an answer after C&P in 30 to 90 days depending on what VARO you are using.

Hello Pete,

I live in ATL..I am working with the PVA! They a doing a great job! I am just waiting on the QTC.. Do you have ALS? Also do you think they will retro pay me make for those two year which I didn't have an actual diagnoses. The neurologist I've seen those years where debating on ALS or some other diseases which they tested for were negative.

Marti,

I think unless you were diagnosed on AD the VBA will only go back upto

12 months of the claim being filed, if the medical evidence during

the 12 months prior to filing the claim met the criteria for you SC and percentage.

Any vet rated 30 % or higher needs to fill out and submit a 686c form

for dependent compensation.
