auenone Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) I think I need to uncomplicate, for me, my question from before. To make it more to the point, I filed (according to VA) on 04 May 2015 and the award was given on September 20 2017. The award was for 30%. Approximately how much should I have received monetarily for the reward? I count 28 months. Thank you for any help. And thank you Carlie for all of your posts over the years. Accurate and to the point. Edited December 13, 2017 by auenone Add a thanks to Carlie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator broncovet Posted December 13, 2017 Moderator Share Posted December 13, 2017 Sorry, we can not calculate from the information given. I can understand your desire to "uncomplicate" but VA wont do that. You cant "just" multiply the current 100 percent times 28 months. You have to figure it at the "old" rates, not the new rates, which usually change each year. Further, you have to deduct monies already received. Its a complex process, further complicated by your dependents which can also change, such as when a child reaches age 18. You pretty much need to figure out each month seperately then add it all up. Remember, too, that you may be counting one month too many, a common error among Vets. Your compensation begins the first day of the month FOLLOWING your effective date. That is, if your effective date was Jan. 15, 2017, your payments would not start until February, 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how many Dependents you have. 28 months of 30% retro is a good hunk of change. especially with two or more dependents. here is a 2001 rating payment scheduled that may give you some Ideal? 30% - 60% Without Children Dependent Status30%40%50%60% Veteran Alone$298$427$609$769 Veteran with Spouse Only$334$475$669$841 Veteran with Spouse & One Parent$363$514$718$899 Veteran with Spouse and Two Parents$392$553$767$957 Veteran with One Parent$327$466$658$827 Veteran with Two Parents$356$505$707$885 Additional for A/A spouse (see footnote b)$32$43$54$65 Edited December 13, 2017 by Buck52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auenone Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) Just single with no dependents. I calculated using $400/mo. Received 6K from VA in single payment, no money on award before that. I know she is gone. Sort of my little eulogy.

HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted December 13, 2017 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 13, 2017 28 months of 30% retro using the 2001 pay chart the 28 months would be 8.344.00 with no dependents. but it has to be even more than that with the raises in the years that we were increased to the present time. from 2015 to 2017 probably not that much difference from the 8.344.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
