ptsd Ptsd Retro Date

[runnenbare]

I have a question about retro date. I filed for ptsd on about 11/10/2006 and was given 30%. I filed a nod and on 11/13/2007 was increased to 50% retroed too 11/10/2006. I filed for increase on 08/13/2009 and was given 70% PT/IU on 02/20/2010 which pays me 100% and retro too 08/13/2009. Is this retro correct or was it suppost to have been retro too 11/10/2006. I have been trying to look this up but with my memery and consentration poor i can not find anything. I can remember readind something about the VA is suppost to asume that when a vet files he or she is filing for 100% even if the vet does not spesifie the 100%. I don't know if that slack time between 11/13/2007 and 08/13/2009 stoped the retro or they are trying to short change me.

Looks like you filed for increase for PTSD in 2009 and recieved increase from 50 to 70% in 2010 as well as TDIU/p&t. Congratulations on getting whats due!

Do you have other service connected conditions that rendered you unemployable before the date given? Were you eligible for IU/P&T prior than 2009? If so, how?

Best to ya,

I have other issues that are on apeal. I have hearing loss which they gave me hearing aids and 10% for ringing in both ears from 105 howitzer. they gave me the 70% pt/iu because the c&p doc read my file and records and said that my ptsd had gotten worse and that i would not be able to find and keep any gainfull employment because of things that happened on my last job. she gave me a 43gaf. i had been getting a gaf of 25 for more than 2 years and when i filed for increase and went to a different doc and a social worker my gaf was increased to 45 and 50 because they though that i was getting better, i guess.
