When Should I Expect To Receive My Retroactive Pay From The Va

[LILS]

Just received an increased percentage rate from 40% to 70% w/ spouse 1 child, due to a CUE claim. I am owed VA retroactive pay from Sep 2011-present. My questions are: What is the average time to receive retroactive pay from the VA AFTER DFAS has paid you their portion? I received $15K today from them. I already received the VA letter stating how much I was entitled to & how much I actually received for those years mentioned above. Any idea? Just want to know if I'll be waiting years for the back pay now. Thanks!

I would be surprised if it's more than a month.

Well,I'm absolutely shocked, but I just received my retro pay from the VA today, just 2 DAYS from receiving my DFAS retro! Between both of them, I received $61K. Thanks for everyone's help!
