Stpn2me Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 sorry about the above post, but that's what they gave me. I'll fight the 0%'s later! The effective date is what I'm worried about. Where do I make sure they know I have a wife and young children? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHerv08 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Congrats! I just got mine on the 24th of this month! I was able to see it on Ebenefits before the decision letter has even made it to my doorstep! Andyman73 and TeShera 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stpn2me Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 OMG, I'm seeing in other forums that getting RETRO pay as a retiree takes a long time. Is it still taking many months to get RETRO? Do they actually split it between DFAS and the VA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Computer Tech Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Congratulations on the win. The Dec 2014 is when cola was increased so you retro should go back to Dec 2013.

Julie1975 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 OMG, I'm seeing in other forums that getting RETRO pay as a retiree takes a long time. Is it still taking many months to get RETRO? Do they actually split it between DFAS and the VA? Not sure if you saw my reply above but my RETRO pay took two months to receive the full amount.
