carlie Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 aggie - finance will probably catch everything up in different deposits - that's what happened to me personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyWife Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Since you submitted your dependency claim along with your disability claim, you should be paid dependency back to the effective date that your disability claim combined rating was 30% or higher, assuming your dependents qualified as of that same date. If I were you I would just email Robert McDonald at robert.a.mcdonald@va.gov with your name, claim number and a short description of your issue. georgiapapa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggie54 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Thank you Carlie, and Navywife, I will certainly do that. I just feel it's not fair on the VA's part to try and cheat, or another words overlook such a big difference in benefits. I am sure it will all come out ok, but more important is the fact that it's all coming to an end. Sometimes closure it the best medicine for the mind. Thank you guys for your continue support to us brothers and sisters. God Bless. Update: Navywife I sent the email as you suggested to Sec. MacDonald with all the eveidence to prove that my claim should have been backdated to 2010. Thank you so much for your help.

aggie54 Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) Well Ladies, and Gentleman. The VA has finally finished my claim. Last thing that was lingering around was my dependency claim which was being backdated to 2013 win I was awarded 100%, when in fact it should have been Sept 1,2010 when I retired. Ater a brief email to the Sec of the VA which I sent out about 3 weeks ago sparked a fire in someone's seat, and my claim was decided, and backdated to 2010. I really appreciate everything you guys did for me in guiding me to success. I am done with the VA now. Thank you so much Navywife for suggesting I email McDonald. Thank you Jesus, and Thank you guys.God Bless. Aggie. Edited December 12, 2014 by aggie54 georgiapapa, ArNG11 and NavyWife 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
