Markn123 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Called Court Of Appeals Friday and was told remanded claim was appealed. He said Claim was at Balt. Md. with a motion to pay attorney fees. Does this probably mean i will be receiving retro pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berta Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Holy Moly- I think you got an award! And I think Pete- his SO wouldnt have a clue on any of this-yet-maybe maybe not- Mark-have you called your CAVC attorney yet to see if he or she knows whats what? then again- maybe no Holy Moly- Did you recently hire a lawyer to rep you who might have had to file a Motion to get paid? or "was told remanded claim was appealed" Did a lawyer balk at the fee and the lawyer filed the Motion to appeal it? ???? or is it just a Fee agreement? Hard to say what has happened here-I sure hope it is a good sign though- the VA isnt going to pay any attorney if there isnt any retro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markn123 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Yes I meant in first reply that he said the earlier decision that was remanded back to the appeals was reversed. I received SSDI on a second claim but retro date only went to Sept. 2005. The first retro date was March 2004. The Federal court(district) said both claims were to be combined and redid by a new ALJ. And yes the local office only knows it is at Bmore Md. I think this is the payment center for vendors(lawyers). guess i just wait for the letter.Thanks to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berta Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 OH- I didnt click on this right- Baltimore MD the SSA office- If the VA is paying you 100% based on same disability that SSA is- you should ask the VA for more money-then again why is the VA only paying you 80% and not the TDIU rate now? This retro can help with VA retro in many cases- my husband's PTSD SSA award date was the controlling factor in his EED from the VA.They would have paid him 3 years at 100% but since he died the widows egs only paid two years of it to me- makes me wonder where that other year of 100% went- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
