Ok they gave hubby a 20% extra on his on diabetes, remand kidney disability and they are linking it with his cads.  Because that is what he has 60% for now.   Remand on iu, which they want him to file for.   they did this on the 13th of July.  So should they start to pay him for that?  They are not showing increase on ebennies.  We found out per his Vso.  I’m assuming since it is not on ebennies it will probably be another month.  Or will they hold that up and wait for the Iu to be approved or disapproved.?  His remand is in Cheyenne Wyoming.  His regional office is St. Pete.

You have to rely on the VA decision, not what a VSO says.  

However, if you have been increased to 60 percent, then yes, you should  get retro for that, once the BVA decision is implemented.  

You probably will have to wait even longer for the remand.

He was @already rated at 20 for diabetes and increased to 40.  At the same time he had filed a claim for diabetic neurophropathy ( kidney disease). Secondary to diabetic.  At that time he had not filed a claim for cads.    He filed that in 2014 and was awarded 60.  Which that would have made him at 80’ and qualify for I U.  So they are relating it to cads instead of diabetes. And  they have remanded it back to Cheyenne.  Now the increase to diabetes was on July 13.  So will they go ahead and pay back pay on that, while they are working on the remanded IU.?  Hope I did confuse you.  It all confuses us.

Well, yes, you confused me.  But if you are asking will he be paid for (an increased) percentage, yes.  If he gets tdiu, then he should get another increase also with backpay to the effective date.  You pretty much have to wait for the decision and not rely upon what your VSO said.
