RodnAnn Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 Thanks everyone. Berta, my husband spoke to the NVLSP lawyer who has been helping him with his claim and she is going to help him with the retro for his dependents benefits. She had actually taken his claim before the court of veteran's appeals and was trying to get it remanded back to the regional office in Jackson, Ms. She had been working on this since about June of 2013. We decided in the interim to file for increased evaluation from 50 to 100% on his PTSD after he was dismissed from his job. After a C&P exam VA decided to offer IU. Filled out forms for that and got rated at 70% PTSD, already 20% hearing loss and tinnitus. made total 80%. Then they gave him TDIU P&T! She also believes they should retro to the date she filed the appeal in Washington. I hope she is right. This has been a long time coming and it doesn't change the fact that my husband has a severe disability, but is does give us one less thing to cope with day to day.
