ARTY_CWO Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 It finally showed up on ebenefits, 90 percent. I have yet to get the letter in the mail. Now I have a question. On the letter it says effective date of 1 aug 2012. Does this date have anything to do with retro pay? I thought the date would be the date I submitted my disability packet of 1 dec 2012? Can I expect retro?? Thanks......

johnjjr Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 The date on the E- Bennies letter has nothing to do with the effecive date of your claim. SEMPER FI ONCE A MARINE, ALWAYS A MARINE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
