I applied for Special Adapation Housing Grant, SAH/SHA. The VA went through a third party, Optum Serve formerly none as LHI to schedule an exam of my right wrist. I am service connected for my right wrist, both knees, back, and PTSD. Does anyone know why I would be getting an exam on my wrist for SAH?

Thanks, I reviewed the info. "The date of receipt of the claim or the date entitlement arose, whichever is the later" confuses me. I understand and know the receipt date of the claim (2003) but the date entitlement arose, how do you figure that out? Would that be the date I started receiving the 10% for my wrist or what? " Whichever is later", does that mean the older date or the most recent date? Help again!

In 2003 my 10% rating on my right wrist (Ulna) was reduce to 0%. I filed a claim in 2003 requesting an increase in my rating for my wrist and both of my knees. I followed the procedures all the way to the BVA. I finally received a decision dated 12-23-10 increasing my rating for my wrist to 30%. My VARO received my folder 01-06-11. The appeals department regarding granting benefits started working on my file 01-26-11. My question is how far back will the VA pay me back pay? I have heard from the initial filing date of the claim which would be in 2003, then I heard it could be the date of medical evidence. Which is it and are there any VA regulations or policy on this, and if so where can someone find these regulations or policies. Help Thanks
