Gastone Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 If you haven't already done so, set your direct deposit bank or CU account to notify you of all transactions via Txt and Email. Vets normally have the Retro in the bank at least 4+ days before receipt of the Big Brown Envelope. I had a Txt & E-mail waiting at 730AM following night of Retro deposit and didn't receive the actual Award letter for about 5 days. Start thinking and researching IU. Possible if not probable, you may get an "Inferred IU Claim" notification listed in your Award Letter. Keep in mind, you will still have to file a claim even if IU is inferred. Are you currently earning in excess of $12,400.00 per year (Gainful Employment Income for 1 person under 65) which is one of the main VA IU Award criteria. Even if your currently ineligible to file for IU, start doing your research. At some point you may find yourself unable to continue full-time work due primarily to your SC issues and then you would be an IU candidate.

georgiapapa Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Congratulations and good luck to you. Fight for the earlier effective date. If you meet the IU criteria, follow Gastone's advice and go for the IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
