mobie16r Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Dependecy claim is just like any other claim,and it depent on the workload in your regional office and yes it will be retro back to the original date of claim.(if you had depentents when you first filed claim) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldranger821 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Mine took about 2 months , start to finish. Filed out the paperwork and sent copies the Divorce decrees and marriage licenses. They said they have not made a decision on the it but will hoild it till my claim get to 30%. I am at 10 now and hope to be around 60 % if and When they award my claim.

CShock Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Even though I had included my dependency information to include the supporting doc umentation, when I made my initial claim; upon receiving my rating I was paid sans dependent rate. So resubmitted my information online the same day I received my rating and the matter closed in 33 days. I didn't have to send in birth certificates or marriage license again.

cooter Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Make sure you keep copies of every piece of paper you sent them cause you'll more likely than not have to resubmit them when you reach 30%. You will learn soon enough not to believe a word they say. Unfortunate, but very true. Coot Mine took about 2 months , start to finish.
