11cvolley Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I don't care about how long, but rather what happens. I read a lot but idk which fits my situation and fellow veterans. For us veterans that have already been receiving VA comp and just won a better backdate; with a lawyer. What comes next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering how long after you were granted did you get your backpay? From the time the 'claim' closed to money in the bank was 2 business days.

0 11cvolley Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) [12-03-2018] Received a letter from the department of Veterans Affairs; Evidence Intake Center. It says.... Entitlement to individual unemployability is granted effective December 8, 2011 Then it goes on to show payment start dates. It shows every date which had a payment change, but the first payment start date is NOV 1, 2013... So the rest is still coming or the VA made another mistake and forgot to pay me another 23 months... EDIT: I did receive a 2nd letter stating the total award amount and attorney fees... Only problem is the VA sent me someone else's decision under my name... Cover letter says my name, but the rest of the paperwork is someone else's.... Edited December 3, 2018 by 11cvolley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JefftheVET Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Wow, that’s a big mistake they made. So did they send you that person’s backpay too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 vetquest Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 This may be an effective date issue. When I was finally awarded IU they did not date it to the file date, they dated it seven years later to the date where an examination showed I was entitled to IU. If you feel this was wrong file an appeal. I was already at the BVA and I filed an appeal and the effective date was backdated to the date of filing.

If i'm owed more in the end at least I can't touch it right now. So no temptation to blow it before mid 2020 when I can buy a house with the VA home loan. vetquest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
