Good evening,
I received a letter from the DAV Friday July 8th
It stated "This letter is not intended to serve as your official notification from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)."
I have been 90% for a year and I applied for IU and was denied after I lost my job July 2015 and haven't been able to work since.
It goes on to say:
The DAV has reviewed the most recent VA decision concerning your claim for benefits.
A combined evaluation of 100 percent plus entitlement to benefits at the 100 percent rate due to
individual unemployment has been assigned as a result of the following actions,
IU granted July 11, 2015 to March 8, 2016... so its been back dated to when I first applied and was denied .... so Back PAY may be possible? I hope.
My DAV rep told me over the phone that after March 8th I will be at the regular 100 percent rate " did not mentioning any P&T " what is regular 100%?
and it goes on to show increases from all SC issues.
50% PTSD
50% MIGRAINES
50% SLEEP APN
20% NECK L
20% NECK R
20% BACK
10% TINNITUS
10% SHOULDER L
My questions are;
1. How accurate are these DAV letters?
2. Is the letter from the DAV any indication that a VA award letter is any closer to reaching my mail box within the next month?
3. Estimate on how long before I see any back pay or Raise in my current 90% disability pay. if they are going back to July of 2015 it should be in the ball park of 14K + I'm figuring,
Thank you all for your help, its been a real struggle but hopefully things will be easier to manage finically and reduce some of the stress on my wife and myself as I continue to battle my own
demons.
