21-Year Navy Vet

All... Truly appreciate all the prompt insight and information! I do know that all this is subject to an audit once the claim is approved / paid / etc..... I always thought that the END RESULT of that audit determined the amount of my retro-pay? So what I'm hearing from you all (broncovet) is that the results from the audit might still be on-going, although I have already received 3 of 4 months reto-pay?

Any and All..... I have a question and can't seem to get a solid answer from the usual sources..... I have a 90% rating and received my first monthly installment (finally) on October 1st. expected, I was due some retro-pay. (Retirement date: 30APR18; Claim filed prior to retirement date; effective date of my disability claim: 01MAY18). The problem is that we received a retro payment of ONLY 3 months -- our calculations (going back to the effective date) is for FOUR months....? Why are we not getting that 4th month? Will we? If so, when? NOTE: We did see that one month was listed as ' Being Withheld' as per our award letter....could this be the discrepancy? Either way, we are thinking we are short a month.....Any help is appreciated!! Jay
