My husband received his letter today. Good news is that overall he went from 30% to 50%. He received 0% on the issue that I was asking about earlier. It was denied in the past. So full benefit does not mean the top % allowable.
One thing that confuses us is that there is no mention of retroactive pay at all. Original claim was 7 years ago. The claim that I mentioned earlier was dated back to 2010. However, it went from denial to 0% so that means no retroactive money. The claim that increased for 0 to 20% is one that they said worsened. However, they dated it effective this month. Anyway, a little disappointed that he will not get back pay after all of these years. However, thankful that he reached that 50% threshold for all of his injuries during active duty.
Thanks for your help....
