back pay

[steven13081]

if you had an illness like Chronic fatigue syndrom while in service but dont try and claim it till after you get out.  any chance they would back pay to the date of illness or no chance ?

[broncovet]

Probably not.  The effective date is the later of the date you applied or facts found. Its rare when you could get military compensation and disability compensation at the same time.  

However, if you apply with in a year of discharge, you should get retro back to the date of discharge, so apply.

Also have a favorable findings concushions while on duity 1998 shouldn't I get my saved effective date for back pay

William  I'm not sure what your conditions are but...How long ago did you receive your service connections. Date. It kinda depends on how long you have had your grant. If you applied and won back in 1989, yes that's a long time. But I'm guessing you received the disability award from the VA much later. If it has been a long time, the next time you go for a C&P, you can ask them to make it permanent. Static. If I understand you, you had a separate disability for concussions. Was it from the same event? Did you apply for that disability also? Or, did you submit recently? You don't get separate disability for the same symptoms. For example, if you have headaches from a TBI , you don't get another disability for migraines. That would be considered pyramiding.

No not if you were paid from 1998 for whatever you were service connected for  to present..unless your meaning  back pay for increase?  if you got it back then? 

OR YOU MIGHT TRY RE-ASKING  YOUR QUESTION IN BETTER DETAIL (MORE INFORMATION)

  OR MAYBE YOU NEED TO REQUEST A HISTORICAL ADUIT ON WHAT THE VA HAS PAID YOU FROM JULY 1989/ AND FROM 1998?

but in General I Agree with what  broncovet mention above.

[Buck52]

TRY TO DEFINE WHAT YOU MEAN BY ''FAVORABLE FINDINGS''  YOU NEED TO GO BY WHAT DATES YOU WERE SERVICE CONNECTED FOR AND WHAT THE CONDITION WAS/IS?

EXAMPLE  ''I Was service connected on such and such date for? & depending on your rating and what the criteria was for that particular condition at the time you were rated? ...what did the VA pay you at the time they rated you? a lot of factors & dates  here to consider.

I suggest that you start a new separate thread and please give as much information as possible.  I agree that it would be rare, but it is not impossible. It really depends on many different variables.  Example: If you filed a claim for migraines back in 1998 and was denied and later was granted service connection for migraines then yes it is possible if your  medical records/evidence proves that you met that criteria back in 1998 then you will have to file a claim/CUE claim to request an earlier effective date.  Back in 1998 VA was denying claims as NOT WELL GROUNDED (NWG) but failed to review the veteran's entire file both SMRs and VAMC/PRIVATE records. Search 38 CFR 3.156 and or 3.157 and go from there.  As stated above, it would be rare but it is not impossible but you better know that VA will not roll over easy to grant this claim because the retro would be a pretty hefty size, so be prepare to file a claim to BVA and or CAVC and get a lawyer. We really need more information from you  to better advise you.
