Hello,
I have a back pay question to whomever may have the answer or point me in the right direction.
I retired and was awarded 20% compensation back in 2011 but wasn't awarded any compensation for Tinnitus, they said it wasn't service connected. But since then I have been increased from 20% to 50% in 2015 and still denied for Tinnitus. But just recently after filing a NOD I was finally awarded my claim for Tinnitus bumping me up to 60%. My question is, "am I entitled for back pay from the original claim dating back to 2011 or 2015? Ebenefits says effective date is 3/30/15.
Thanks in advance
