kookiebean2001 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Finally got 100% Convalescent ratings for 3 months, they said plus retro, I don't understand the retro part. I filed in 2009. Can someone explain. Convalescent goes all the way back to 1994. A man who won't die for something is not fit to live. Martin Luther King, Jr. 1. Faith is the ability to not panic. 2. If you worry, you didn't pray. If you pray, don't worry. 3. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home every day. 4. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape. 5. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot. 6. Do the math. Count your blessings. 7. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts. 8. Dear God: I have a problem. It's me. 9. Silence is often misinterpreted, but never misquoted. 10. Laugh every day, it's like inner jogging. 11. The most important things in your home are the people. 12. Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional. 13. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open. 14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry. 15. He who dies with the most toys is still dead. 16. We do not remember days, but moments. Life moves too fast, so enjoy your precious moments. 17. Nothing is real to you until you experience it, otherwise it's just hearsay. 18. It's all right to sit on your pity pot every now and again. Just be sure to flush when you are done. 19. Surviving and living your life successfully requires courage. The goals and dreams you're seeking require courage and risk-taking. Learn from the turtle -- it only makes progress when it sticks out its neck. 20. Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medic Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 CONGRATS!!! from my understanding you'll receive retro back to 2009 :) I believe it goes from the time you filed your case. “War is a country of will. There is no room for sympathy. If you're not willing to give up everything, you've already lost.” - Act of Valor - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

($1.00 x 24 months) = $24.00 ? insert a different figure for the $1.00 if necessary.

Berta Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 They will give you 3 months of 100% comp less the percent of comp you get now if you got that during the 3 months convalescence period. Sometimes they award more than that if medical evidence warrants a longer convalescence payment. The Temporary COnvalescence regs and discussions of them are all here at hadit available under a search. GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University ! When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letter says I get 100% from Sept 94 to Dec 94, nothing changes after Dec 1994, I remain at 30%. VSO doesn't explain anything. A man who won't die for something is not fit to live.
