RETRO PAY

[Galen Rogers]

hello all. Most of my recent claims were approved with the effective date set at 29 Dec 2017. They bumped me up from 40% to 90%. I am a retiree so my VA comp was an off-set from my retirement check. Now I get concurrent. DFAS shows a special payment coming in a couple days of reimbursement for my retirement pay back 10 months (minus tax). Is there any where we can look to see what the actual VA comp retro pay is? DFAS shows nothing on it.

There are a couple of ways to try, but not all will work.  Go to your payment in Ebenefits.  You can also try PEGGY.  Try you regional office as they should know the correct amount.  More than likely you are going to have to just wait it out for them to pay you.

The best way is to check your bank balance.  When it arrives, the bank will post the amount.  Or, you can try figuring it out from the offical decision.  (no, not ebenefits).

Thanks All. I just looked in "Vets.gov" where open claims are now listed. It shows I have one for the "AEW" retro pay. The origination date was 26 Jan 2019 and they have started reviewing it as of today. Some info is better than no info.

Good luck to you and I hope it is the amount you thought you were getting!

My claim decision came with a detailed description of what should have been paid and what was withheld. DFAS already paid me my retired back pay. Hopefully I will know for sure in a few weeks.
