krbkwb02 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 hey all, here it goes, I won my request for increase in April of 06, but found an error in regards to my left shoulder chronic bursitis. They rated it on the first page at 10%, but later in the letter it said 20%. Yesterday 31 July they finally admitted it was a mistake on there part, and that it would be corrected with retro to June 05. The question is how long do you think it will be from this point before I have the money in hand? Correct me if Im wrong but 20+20+10+10 should now take me to 50% overall?

carlie Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 (edited) If you get direct deposit check to be sure it's not already there. Call the 800 # and ask when it will be disbursed. Good luck. Edited August 21, 2006 by carlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
