HadIt.com Elder JR Reihs Posted July 18, 2015 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted July 18, 2015 Congrats....The VA gave you your 100% in Aug, so they are saying that Sept 1, 2013 was the retro date start. From the way I read it , all the amount withheld from that date will be your retro x each month adding for the Colas of Dec 13/14/15. I can't tell you the exact amount and wont even try, but a good average would be around $1300 per month from Sept 1, 2013, based on the amount withheld.

WOLF14 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 UPDATE.I have confirmed that DFAS has in fact completed my AEW on 13 Aug 2015 and sent it to VA via batch file on 20 Aug 2015. VA of course said that it hasn't been scanned into the system for processing whatever the heck that means????I also requested a copy of my AEW from DFAS on 18 Aug which has not arrived yet. The 1-800 call Peggy number is useless. Not sure when my Retro will be paid as I can't seem to get anyone on the phone at the 1-800 number that has a clue. I know there are lot's of Vets who have waited a long time for their retro. My thought is if DFAS sends it to VA via batch file then what would need to be scanned in for processing as I'm assuming that the batch file is on disc or computerized. BLUF: This seems fairly straight forward and is not rocket science. Thoughts................... V/rWOLF14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOLF14 Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Hamslice, Hahahaha. Blue Leader Under Fire is too funny. Yes, I'm prepared for a long wait but I'm doing everything in my power to get the VA off their butts! V/rWOLF14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
