Oldmechanicswife11 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hey vets so My wife applied back in October 2018 for TDIU She was originally awarded 90% VA and 50% DOD before getting discharged from military .. She completed IU C&P exams back in Feb 2019 we checked ebenefits today and Noticed she’d been increased to 100% SC MDD P&T ... and an extra special “S” compensation benefit ...my question is how long until she receives back pay?... her effective date is October 8, 2018 to be exact and does she receive back pay in the amount of 100% plus the extra special pay times October 2018 to today March 5, 2019 when her case was completed and closed ?

Lead Moderator ShrekTheTank Posted March 5, 2019 Lead Moderator Share Posted March 5, 2019 So it will take whatever time they feel like getting to it. Could be next month could be 16 to 29 months. There are a ton of possibilities make sure your banking information is correct and check back less often as it will drive you crazy. They will back pay all the months so it could be a large sum.

Moderator broncovet Posted March 6, 2019 Moderator Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) Congratulations! Here is how to precisely calculate the time it takes for your retro to arrive: 1. Take your birthday, multiply that times the number of hours you post on hadit each day. 2. Then divide that by the date of your first hadit post. 3. Then disregard all the above, throw a dartboard at a calendar and see where it lands. You can assure that will not be correct. Repeat this, until you get the correct date. How will you know when the correct date is? Wait for the envelope. Edited March 6, 2019 by broncovet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
