I have read till I'm cross-eyed and confused. I was talking to my mother about DIC and found she was only getting it since 2001 for Dad's death, service connected to DMII Dad died in Dec 93, she filed Apr 94. He also had open claim for DMII and peripheral Neuropathy at time of death. Shouldn't Nehmer back pay her to at least Apr 94. It also looks like his estate should get back pay to original claim for service connection back to 91. Am I barking up wrong tree or should I jump on this with both feet.
