I was recently awarded an earlier effective date from 7/2/2019 back to 9/18/2015 for SA. I have already received one check but I do not believe it is enough, I believe it is a few thousand low. I got the check last week.
I am also retired military, I should have been awarded some back pay because I went from 40% to 70% (40% is appx $700 per month). Will this come in a separate check or do I need to ask the VA for an audit on how they determined my retro pay? Or do I need to give it still more time for all the possible retro pay to come in?
Also if I do ask for a audit for the retro pay which form do I request it on?
I am not an attorney or an a credited VA rep. These are my personal opinions and experiences, always remember what worked for me may not work for you.
You as the veteran are your own best advocate and no one knows your disabilities better than you. It is highly recommended that you as the veteran research and verify that any opinion given meets your specific situation.

Yeah doing Retro math isnt cut and dry. You have to look at each years rates, your rate for that year then the new rate. You're a retiree that's even more double speak. You haven't learn Latin ye
