I'm not sure of your question, but I rated 90% earlier this year and the way mines retro pay ended up went back as far as 2010, but it (my claim) was for several different condition with different dates (2010) being the farthest back. Which got me a back pay right under six digits. So I guess I'll say (and this is only my opinion) according to my situation is that you should get retro pay the earliest claim applied.

 

Hope others will join in here.

Did the VA appeal as your representative, or was the claim submitted for "reconsideration"? The difference may very well be back pay. Or, not too unusually, the VA screwed up again. (still, yet, even!)

You would have to carefully read the VA decision award paperwork to see what was actually done, and why the problem with retroactive pay may exist.
