Cowgirl curious question of the day.

Say a vet recieves SSDI then IU for same condition, is IU effective to SSDI date?

cg,

Not necessarily the same dates as they can be dependent on

several different factors.

I would think it would depend on the eed, since I've read on here many times that the VA will only go back 1 year. I'm sure more experienced people will chime in here good question.

Each is different.

First off, SSDI is automatically a 5 months wait. So, the likelyhood of having an Effective Date for your VA claim, coincide with the 5 months delay of the SSDI is highly unlikely.

And, IU will have an earliest effective date of the date that the official form for applying for IU is received by the RO.

I don't know the why's, but The Va paid me retro back three years after they received the

TDIU Form at the 100% rating.

Hope this helps.
