Typical Time From First Claim To Approval For Disability

[t.acord]

I'm new to this area and starting to ask a few questions (hope not to many).

From he moment the Texas Veterans Commission helps me start my process for VA disability, what is the typical time frame to be approved and start receving payment? And is it true that if I get awarded disabiilty that it is retrograde? I've been out for 10 years and told I should be able to get 30 to 70% for service related injuries.

thanks,

If awarded disability claim. More than likely it would be retroactive from the date you filed. Hope this helps.

Ah, I was told by someone that it would go back to the date I left the service. I've never fiiled before because I heard all the horror stories about everyone being denied.

ta,

Welcome to hadit.

tagandbag is right, it will go back to the date you filed the claim

if you continue to pursue it all the way through.

There is no way they will take you back to day following separation,

since you've been out ten years and are just now filing a claim.

What disabilities are you requesting SC for and what Medical Evidence do you have ?

There is no typical time frame for getting your disability. I would not believe any of that stuff about percentage ratings you should get until you have it in your hand from the VA. Your rating will depend on your evidence.
