Question

Dear members,

Currently, I have 0% on TBI and I filed to increase my TBI 09/04/2014 and just yesterday my TBI was increased to 50%.

It took them 4 months and I am very grateful...

Is there back pay for this type of increase?

Thank you and be safe everyone.

My first awarded date was 07/01/2014 and they gave me 0% for tbi. Not sure how they going to pay me... have a feeling they might just give me my regular pay with 50% increase now.... brown envelope says nothing about back pay.

Well you should get a letter of explanation as to how they paid you & you can disagree and tell them like jbasser & pr mention when your (the date) condition arose to its current severity would be the effective date . they should pay you from back then!

if they pay you the 4 months and your condition worsen was diagnosed earlier then there screwing you buddy!

According to what you've stated you'll get retro for Oct, Nov and Dec, as BakerGeckos estimated. January's check will be paid Jan 30th, instead of Feb 1st, due to it being a weekend. I would pursue the earlier effective date of 02/01/2014. You still have until January 31, 2015, to file a NOD or you can file a CUE claim at any time. You have a better chance of winning that than any lottery! jmo
