I am retired coast guard. I have been waiting for my retro pay for nearly a year now. I was a Awarded back in March 2018 and they paid the back pay since January 2018. The rest of the back P computations had to go through the system. So it went to the VA then to the coast guard then to homeland security then back to the VA in September 2018. I have been waiting ever since to get the retro pay dating from when I 1st filed my claim in May 2016. So they owe me from 2016 through the end of 2017 and it has been held up by the VA ever since. I can barely understand why it had to go to the VA to begin with if it then had to clear the to other agencies only to sit for nearly a year now waiting for the remainder
