Travel Pay Reimbusement?

[x020574]

When I received my award to 90% I became aware that I could be entitled to 'copays reimbursed retroactively' to my claim effective date.

Question: Is it possible to get retroactive 'travel pay' back to the claim effective date?

My first call to the financial resource center indicated they were going to request two audits one for medical copays and another for travel pay.

It's been several months since I made my initial request to recoup copays and placed a follow up call yesterday. The representative told me it would be one within the next 2 weeks.

When I asked about the second audit for 'travel pay' retroactive to the claim effective date, she said she didn't see a audit request for travel pay and has never heard of such a thing, she had no idea what I was talking about. Has anyone ever received retro travel pay or heard of such a thing?

Depends on your VAMC. Ours only goes back 30 days regardless, but I have not tried to file for retro travel in a while. What a ripoff...

If you just became eligible for travel, they can do retro. They may deny, at first, but if you appeal, you can win.
