Computer Tech Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Congradulations on the increase. Yes you should get retro back to the effective date but if you're retired military they'll need to do an audit which may take a while.

Berta Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Did they consider you for TDIU in the decision ? or are you still employed? Congrats!!!! GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University ! When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
