Just an update. I finally received a fully favorable decision. As of Aug .1, 2015. Of course my next question is when will I see some money? My case was expedited for what thats worth. Thanks for all the support on this matter, Staying positive is hard but my fellow Veterans came thru for me. Semper Fi

Thanks Navy04, My last date of work was Dec 6, 2012. I was let go because I was caught taking extra breaks due to pain. Of course as a Union sheet metal worker, They frown on paying $55p/hr to someone who needs to sit down from time to time. So I was let go so they said due to lack of work so with out income I needed to collect unemployment which ran out in April 2014. So my first denial was in June 2015, I got my congressman and Senator involved and begged my VA PCP to fill out the disability questionnaire and he did in Aug 2015 which is my new onset date. The ALJ made the offer and I just took it even thou my disabilities were acting up long before. So add 5 months to that and I will only get paid from Jan 2016. But I am so grateful as are my 3 young kids. Thanks again

I just got a letter from the ODAR office to my senator saying they are pleased to inform him tha a favorable decision has been made in my case. From the day I got my senator involed things seemed to have moved at light speed. So fast infact I am still waiting for SSA to send ME the decision. I gave up 28 months of back pay so as for a big check, not so much. But I am grateful and blessed. Now how long till I get some loot????
