Question
Tazinhawaii
So the VA just awarded my claim for GERD at 10% which increased my overall to 50%. I'm retired Navy so this means the Gov't will stop robbing my retired pay, YEAH!! But I'm confused on how far back my back pay will be. I submitted my intent to file via e-benifits in August 2015. I didn't actually file the claim until 3/2/2016. The disabilities page in e-benefits states the award date is 3/2/2016. I thought the idea of submitting the intent to file was to establish an earlier filing date. I did the FDC claim as well. I haven't gotten my letter yet from the VA. But should I get back pay to Aug 2015?? Or only March 2016?
I've spent the last hour searching for answers, but haven't found them.
Thank you,
Derrick
