Hello,
We submitted a claim in September 2018 for the following:
Increased rating, Intervertebral disc syndrome
Increased rating, Migraines
Service connection, Irritable bowel syndrome
Service connection, Sleep apnea
100% rating for individual unemployability
We were denied December 2018 and filed an appeal. The case was remanded in April 2020. My husband had his c and p exam on October 15, 2020 and we received a decision letter on November 10th. He was granted an increase from 0 to 50% for migraines and granted TDIU. The decision letter we received in the mail and our ebenefits letters states that the effective date is October 15, 2020. Shouldn't the effective date be the date we initially filed the claim? We have lawyers assisting us and are waiting on there response but we were wondering if anyone in this wonderful forum had experience with something similar?
Thank you.
