Hello,
I would like to know can I apply for temporary 100% due to hospitalization retroactively?
Since being SC at 50% PTSD in 2014, I have been in numerous treatment programs spanning 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018. All time periods were for up to 6 months-one year.
When I first tried to file in 2015 I received a letter from the RO stating that because I had a appeal going for a PTSD increase my temp claim could not be processed at the time.
However, I recently filed again for Temp 100% on April 8th 2019 for all the various time periods despite my ongoing appeal and it appears they have processed my Temp claim
because a decision letter has been sent. What can I expect? I'm assuming if there is no statute of limitations on when to file I should be approved. But we all know what Ass-uming does
when it comes to dealing with the VA regarding claims. Please advise, as to weather there is a time limit.
Any feed-back or advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks All
Semper Fi.
P.S Please bear in mind that I filed "due to hospitalization" not "convalescence". It is my understanding that there is a difference
