rmoreno Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Claim opened: 4-8-2013 Claim Closed: 6-14-2014 Contentions were: Spine (secondary to broken 11 and 12 rib) Left Knee (increase) Nerve Damage (secondary to Broken 11 and 12 rib) Paragraph 30 Benefits (reopen) I know for sure that the Para 30 benefits were denied. I know what is needed now and will turn in New and Material Evidence for reconsideration. I do not know how the break down has occurred, but my rating went from 30% to 60% now! Waiting on BBE and retro! Any ball parks on how much retro with wife and child? Success! hmcquade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder dav_marine72 Posted June 16, 2014 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 16, 2014 Congrats man. I'd check the full break down to make sure they rated you properly. Your talking like a $700+ difference in monthly pay. If I read this correctly your looking at about a year of back pay. So around $8000 + retro + $1207 monthly moving forward. The reason I say check their reasoning is you never know when your injuries will turn into arthritis, etc. Better to stay on top now especially if you have any problems working.

carlie Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Being that you were already 30%, va probably already has your direct deposit info. Many times the retro hits there, prior to receipt of the official decision. Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
