Within the last year my disability rating was increased to 40%. Of course this amount allows dependents to be considered in the payment amount. After getting notice of the rate increase, I applied to be compensated for the new monthly amount with dependents. Its been about nine months and I haven't heard anything. I was married and had my family while I was on active duty. My main question is .... if the decision is made for recognize my dependents, will I receive any back pay for the dependents? Thank you very much for your help!

yes you will. Let me explain why the dependency claims are taking a long time. Most VARO's have taken the employees that handled dependency actions and moved them to work on the back log of claims. Mo

It took me 8 months to get my daughter on for college, and I got paid back to the date she started college. I got that retro deposit mid month and not with my normal deposit. Hamslice
