Question
Lorraine
Hope this is the correct forum for this, if not, hope you moderators catch this and put it in the correct forum.
My Vet has had numerous changes in his compensation dollar amount since his initial claim. We got his first check Dec.2011 and the retro. He got 60% for AO/IHD, then the VA suggested he file an additional claim for diabetes type2 and PAD (they'd found these dx's in his medical records)So, after C & P and filing the paperwork, then he got rated at 70%. Because he's 20 yr retired AF, he'd also filed for CRSC for the 60%, then had to file again for the increase to 70%,, then there was the COLA raise, so you can see why the reimbursement was frequently changing. I thought it was finally all done so went to the new 2012 table to make sure he was getting the correct amount and it appears he is receiving $99 too much for a 70% rating and having a spouse. That looks like the amount awarded for AA, but he/we don't qualify for that.
So, my question is - how do we rectify this? Write to them (where??--Regional office?)and send it certified mail and keep a copy for our files? I assume we'll have to pay them back? I don't have a clue how long this has gone on because it all got so confusing with the frequent changes so I guess I'll have to leave it up to them to figure it all out!(that doesn't make me very comfortable!)
I guess I should be thankful that I looked this up today and didn't end up getting dinged for it 5 yrs from now!
Thought this was all done and that I could quit leaning on you folks at Hadit to walk me through all of this, but here I go again asking for some advice. Sure glad we were financially in a position to follow Carlie's advice to not just BLOW the retro and be cautious, we've been nervous that something would happen and they'd end up saying they made a mistake or something. Talk about creating your own reality!!
