I am a 20 year retired Vet (Army). I am writing this because I trying to understand how far back retro pay on a De Novo review goes. I am trying to understand and get my head right on how this works. I am hoping someone will read this and possibly explain to me what I do not understand.
My original rating (Retired on 1 November 2010, filed VA Claim and rated on June 1 2011) was 50% I filed an appeal (May 2012 as a NOD De Novo). After 4 years I just received my SoC and I have been granted a 90% rating. My question is and what I am confused on is will my retro pay go back to my original claim date (1 November 2010) since that is when I filed my original claim or will my retro pay only go back to when i filed my NOD/De Novo Appeal (May 2012)? I am confused on this and would love if someone can answer this question? I really hope to hear from anyone and I appreciate your input in Advance.
