Thanks Berta, I will send an inquiry to IRIS. Georgiapapa, I do have DD and have not moved. The retro should be under 25K US VET, so how long after your decision was sent to you did you receive your 1 year retro check?

Hello fellow veterans. I searched to see if a specific thread already existed that was discussing my situation. I filed an initial claim for disability back in October, 2013 using the FDC process. I was assisted by National Service Officer for the Disabled American Veterans organization and he was fantastic. My claim was processed and a decision was mailed to me in early May, 2014. I cannot complain about the process and I am pleased that it was completed in relatively short order. There is one catch. The one year of retroactive benefits pay is still stuck in the payment process. The DAV said that I am eligible and the payment should be processed in 90 to 120 days. I am seeking other individuals that are in the same situation. Initial claim filed with FDC and decision reached, but still waiting on the 1 year of retro pay which was the proverbial carrot that makes the FDC process worth the extra leg work. Anyone that has some info on length of time it took them to get the retro pay or other information would be fantastic. Thanks! Pat 10 year active duty Navy Vet, MM1/SS
