Weird... Sudden Money, But Feel Anxious Instead Of Happy

[hedgey]

Checked the bank account today to discover a deposit of a fat deposit from the VA in my DH's account. He's 50% and filed for an increase back in July. I tried to call him, call the VSO, but no one available. I could just wait and see what comes in the mail, but I hate seeing mysterious deposits.

He has spouse + one in-school child. The retro would go back to July, right? So if that means July should be included, and March should be included, that would be 9 months?

His determination letter should give you all the fact, such as the effective date and his current rating, so you can figure this all out.

oakay.........I'm a little slooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww today (okay, okay, then, worse than NORMAL, alright already!).

But.

What's a DH (designated hitter?)? :)

Dear Husband = DH

Congrats on another win.

It might not have the March $$$ yet-

but should go back to the month he filed the claim in.

Whoopee this is Great News-

but I know how it is to get the cash in the bank and no letter yet- but it will arrive and you can make sure the retro is correct by reading the VA historic rate table at the VA web site.

This is wonderful news!

It is all good. I was real paranoid and kept looking for it to be reversed for the first week.

You go through a downer period after the fact but you will get over it.

If he filed, for an increase, in July, and was awarded that date the increase will include aug, sep, oct, nov, dec, jan and feb or 7 months. March won't be paid yet. Glad for you!!
