According to the article they did not give out the vets name, only the amount of the retro payment.

Thanks for the info Pat.. I filed mine in Jan 2010 with the VARO in Reno,Nv. Hopefully they will be as efficient as Palo Alto's VARO

The claim was originally filed with the Oakland VARO and was transferred to the San Diego VARO. Palo Alto is the VAMC.

I have been reading this forum for about a year. I am a boots on the ground grunt in Vietnam. I filed a claim for IHD in Febuary 2010 going back to June 2008 on a denied claim. I recieved the big envelope today. 100% temporary till April 2010 and 60% with IU from then thru present. Everything went smoothly, I filed with the local county veterans service officer, All treatment has been with the VAMC in Palo Alto. They are paying 100% retro back to June 2008. My EF is 35-40% and MET's are 4.8

This should be in success stories, but I know that the AO vets are anxious to hear about awards. WAHOOOO!!!!!! This is already

relieving a LOT of stress.......I'll change my personal info as soon as I get my feet feet back on the ground. WAHOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Berta,

I may be misunderstanding the listing, but the VA knows how many retro claims there will be, and how much it will cost them. I think they look at that as a cost due in total. but once retro claims are paid there will not be anymore retro to pay. I think they are lumping all the retro in the first year cost. Does that make any sense???

Just my two cents worth.
