I got out of the Army for a back injury in Jun06. I filed with the VA soon there after. They gave me a jun17th date on the phone as my first filling. I never got word on appointments, or a rating. Earlier this year I finally got back to it and got word that I never showed up for doctor appointments. Reason it all came back up is because I went to the hospital for my service connected back problem. I got a 20% rating at the beggining of the year. I called a couple weeks ago and had a claim filed to take that 20% rating back to me first time I filed. Now I hope all that makes sense, but do any of you know how successful this will be? I don't know if I should look forward to back pay to 2006 or just forget all about it. Thanks for your time.
