cham1968 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 What's up Rover now that's what I'm talking about. Me personally I would just continue to work if you are enjoying what you're doing the 100% doesn't even factor into your employment. Working does have it's advantages LOL. But hey if work is affecting you to the point of aggravation then it's time to move on. Just remember as long as you're not TDIU working has not effect on your 100%. Great to here Bro. May God bless you with longevity. HOLLA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cham1968 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Rover I also believe you will be retro paid back to your DEC 2010 effective date. Since you have not filed another claim. Let us know, I would like to get something right with this VA mess LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlie Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 rover, For now - you've won ! Don't worry about the effective date - till you get the decision and the retro hits - you can always NOD the ED. BUT, for the record I'm thinking that your C&P exams done in Feb 2013 got you increased to 100 percent and this would prevent the ED of the 100 percent from going back to the Dec 2010 date. Same thing as a staged rating per medical evidence of current level of disability. Also, this now also provides you with full dental care at your VAMC plus Chapter 35 for dependents and some other great benefits you will need to check into also probably some additional state benefits. Retro will be good - spend wisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Carlie....Please keep in mind; "this is my initial claim" The exams conducted in Feb 2013 was deferred (from the Dec 2010 original claim) because they needed additional information or evidence. Note: Claim received: Dec 2010 & Claim closed: 26 Mar 2013. So the ED should be 1 Jan 2011 @ 100%. Am I off target? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddit Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I think you are on target Rover. I think the Date is 1 Jan 2011. But with VA they could say from the date that you had the C&P exam. That's what happen to me. Reason for: is even though you filed the claim in Dec 2011. the Va can say that the condition did not worsen until the exam and date it the day of the exam. So, if the effective date is 2013, that is probably what the did. Reddit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
