Yep, that is exactly what happened. I calculated the difference between 100% and 80% and multipliedx2 for April and May and it is exactly what was deposited. So we don't get anything for the remainder of March or even any of June? If so, that is messed up at least for March not calculating anything, not even a prorate. So "June" will be paid on July 1?

Also, was your deposit a fairly large lump sum and that is why it was split into 3's? This should only be about 5.5-6k ish. We had about 12k back in 2016 in a lump sum

Also, does this open the door to DFAS paying military retirement pay on top of the VA pay? The whole 20 year in rule has be confused. Pretty much we had a different bank account and address for DFAS and never updated it. It still has about an $813/month award on there and mentions the VA disability pay and even SBP on a document of changes dated Dec 1, 2018. We called them today thinking maybe we had back pay from them because we never updated our info and they said no because he wasn't in for 20 years. It has to be at least 20 years. (he was med-boarded at about 7 years in with 50% initially, then increased to 80% then now 90% with TDIU). I'm confused as to why even have the info in there in the first place if we are not to be receiving it?

Thanks! We were relieved. Ok we had an increase before and it was a lump sum 2 years ago or so. He is medically retired, yes- about 7 years in. I saw on ebenefits it just said Retro pay but nothing else. It does say effective date of the last change to your current award was April 1, 2019, but then it says considered TDIU on March 7, 2019 which is date claim was filed. Even the retro difference from April 1 to that date wasn't equally the 3k. Why even mention the April 1 date? It is confusing lol. So the retro will be calculated from March 7? LOL I like the way you broke that down. So this would only be about half ish of retro right? and new 100% rate at 7/1?

Hello, We found out yesterday on ebenefits that my husband was awarded an increase from 80% to 90% with TDIU. Today we had a deposit from VA for $3,004 but are unsure why that amount. The date of TDIU was with the claim opening ing at March 7, 2019 so I assume that is the back pay date. It doesn't make sense the amount they sent for the difference of TDIU for vet+spouse+2kids. It doesnt even make sense for the difference with just 80 to 90% pay either. Any ideas?
