Another Update
Claim close on 9 June, received retro pay on 12 June. BTW I'm not a retiree so I guess it didn't have to go through DFAS audit. Filed in Nov 2014 for PTSD and tinnitus. Awarded both claims. Filed out of Philadelphia. Hope this will be and inspiration to others. I know all cases are different but for the ones that have a few contentions this may serve as a blue print. Heard and read so many stories on the retro, it actually came before the BBE. Thanks again to all of you for your advice and comments.
