Hello, I appealed a decision on a claim for increase for depression back in 2016. I was invited to apply to RAMP which I did and the decision was favorable. Recently I went from 50 - 70% for depression. I never received any documentation but noticed in ebenefits the other day the effective date was 03/2019. I also applied for service connection for stomach and bunions issues. These two issues were granted stomach 30% and bunions 10%. These totals helped me go from 90 to 100%. The stomach and bunion effective dates are 06/2019. I honestly believe they made a decision on my stomach and bunions before the depression issue.
Anyways I only received backpay from June to now. Does this mean I won't receive backpay for the depression issue because of RAMP or because of the timing of the other issues?

I applied for the increase in depression in 2016. I applied for the stomach and bunion issue just a few months ago. I actually applied for the stomach and bunion years ago and it was denied but when I requested my records and reapplied with dates and had surgery on the foot is when it was approved.
I never even received any documentation that my depression was increased. I only saw that when I logged in ebenefits and saw the other issues were approved and then saw my total %
