Moderator broncovet Posted September 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 12, 2013 Dependent retro is no different than other retro. Your effective date will be the later of the "facts found" or the date you applied. If you applied for dependents shortly after his birth, then you should get retro from the date you applied. If you recently got a RO decision, and it did not have dependents listed, you have a year from the RO decision to add them. If you do not apply within a year of the decision, then you wont get dependent compensation until you apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
