2 retro checks??

[Tommyb44]

I just checked ebenefits,  and it said under payments that they had mailed me a check for my retro on my just approved claims.  Unfortunately,  it was processed before I had put in my banking info...not a big deal.  My big issue, though,  is that they also processed it before i put in my dependent info as well.  I know, I know,  I'm new to this .  Since that happened though,  will they send an additional retro amount, or will they just lump it in with my monthly amount?  Thanks everyone in advance

The last part helped, but telling a guy with ptsd, who is losing his job, that he may wait years for his money isn't wonderful.   You were just being honest though,  so thanks.  Anyone more recent?  I'm hoping the system has improved 

It took 2 years to get the additional spousal amount (About $95.00/month). The disability lump sum payment was almost immediate after the decision was made.
