Hello everyone, After 4.5 years I finally got a rate increase for my bilateral knee disability. Now I am confused about the retroactive pay. I filed the claim in 2007 and was denied. When I read what the doctor wrote I was shocked because he could not have reviewed my C-file. I chose a DRO denova review which was a joke and a waste of time because he/she could not have reviewed my C-file. When I wrote my NOD I went through my C-file my self and sent the information to the Waco Regional Office. From the documentation I sent in the RO scheduled me for a second C&P exam ( it took them about a year and half to schedule the exam). I had been rated under limitation of flexion which gave me a 20% rating. The second C&P the doctor rated me under limitation of extension which gave me a 30% rating. Now the RO is telling me that my retroactive pay should just go back to the date I took the second C&P exam because the first C&P exam results and the second C&P exam result where different. Is this correct. The first C&P doctor did not review my C-file because he did not include all of my knees disabilities and the second doctor did.
