carlie Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 Seriously congrats but now the real wait begins for this veteran... the back pay time. He's been paid his retro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Damn so that is indeed success. I am not sure if it's true but I was told that retro only goes back 5 years? Or does it go all the way back to the initial claim if the claim stays open like it has here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted June 23, 2014 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 23, 2014 If you can show the VA made an error when they denied a claim 50 years old then they have to pay the retro. That is what CUE is all about. The VA has many tricks to avoid paying the full amount but sometimes the vet wins. There are WW11 vets who get retro back to the day they left service. It has happened.

Archer Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Damn well that is very nice, in a time of bad news here lately, I am glad that people are still winning cases and being given what they rightfully deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotkawla Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Long overdue, but we'll deserved! Never, ever give up the fight if the evidence is on your side. As the OP stated, persistence pays off, eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
