Back in 1968 I filled a claim with the VA for Bi-lateral Tinnitus and hearing loss. The Tinnitus issue went mostly ignored, but after about two years I received a 0% rating for the hearing loss.
I just learned about a year ago that the VA now recognizes Tinnitus so I filed a claim.
Went to Reno yesterday for the hearing test and answered questions about the Tinnitus. I think that all went well. I was also told that I am qualified for hearing aids and was offered an appointment there to be fitted for them.
Is there any chance of getting Retro Pay back that far as it was part of my original claim?

Any idea how long before I hear from them. What should I expect?
