Backdated Claim Awarded; Do i get my co-pays refunded?

[MikeHunt]

DMC will offset comp/pension* before it goes to TOP. One 'trick' if you have a debt, and nothing to offset, is to pay a minimal amount every month- DMC's software is extremely outdated, and only needs to see a payment to keep the debt from advancing to TOP. It does produce a list, but it's too vast to work.

I have heard of them manually sending people to TOP paying de minimus payments on massive debts (like home loan defaults), but you'd be about as unlucky as a person in a plane crash- who wasn't in a plane ...

Monthly payments.

* education offsets for education only

Yes.  In our VAMC you go to a special guy to apply.  called a "needs test".  (I think they changed the name of "needs test", but I dont know what they changed it to.) 

Thanks again. I went to Means Test and they gave me the number for billing, is KS I think. He said my % and eff date are already in system, so that'd make it easier (LoL. we all know nothing is easy at the VA!)

and the lady who answered said she'd have an audit conducted- She understood the retro and priority group one no copay- Said the audit would probably be 2x months
