Aid & Attendence

[Bound4heaven]

Greetings,

I have been helping a veteran with his claim for A&A. He received his award letter today stating that he had been granted A&A, however there was no award amount or any regards to the retro date. I have never seen anything like this.

He has a call in to the VARO, however but he could not get a decent answer. I contacted our RO and ask a simmuliar question, and I got that he will be receiveing his award amount in another letter that might take 30 days to receive. He informed me that is how the VA are doing things now.

This vet has 7 dependents and currently gets around $3,800.00 per month. He is rated at 100% Loss of use of both feet plus SMC for other issues. This veteran is having panic attacks over this issue. Can anyone help me figure his amount so his mind can be put to ease? Thank you all so much. God bless you.

Hey Pete53,

Just wanted to say thank you again for the advice. I called my mother this morning and had her go to my brother's SO and ask for the form. The Service Officer then called the VA and made my brother an appointment for tomorrow.

Oh, Sorry Bound4Heaven, I didn't mean to hijack your post.
