0 Moderator brokensoldier244th Posted November 4, 2019 Moderator Share Posted November 4, 2019 They pay retro usually back to the claim filling date. You can't file for something And claim it back 10 yrs ago, for example, except in a few rare cases of presumptive claims, or if you are recently discharged you have 1 year. https://cck-law.com/veterans-law/are-there-retroactive-awards-for-veterans-disability-claims/ The Earth is degenerating these days. Bribery and corruption abound.Children no longer mind their parents, every man wants to write a book,and it is evident that the end of the world is fast approaching. --17 different possible sources, all lacking verifiable attribution.

0 Moderator broncovet Posted November 4, 2019 Moderator Share Posted November 4, 2019 We would have to go over your file and review it, to see if its likely you qualify for an EED (earlier effective date). Was the decision which granted the 70 percent (at the wrong effective date) within the past year? If so, appeal the decision's effective date by filing a nod. There are multiple ways of qualifying for an eed. 38 cfr 3.156 c or b can mean an eed if you can submit new relevant evidence. Also possible is cue error. There are other ways also, but we need to know more, Im not listing "all" of them. You can take your file to a law firm who represents Vets and ask them if you qualify. One example is cck law, a reputable vets law firm. They will review your file, and let you know if they see an eed. You can then decide whether to hire them or not.

0 Berta Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Morenter -Are you the veteran or are you asking for a veteran? The advice above is solid- retro is decided in the award letter. And there are ways to fix it ,if it is the wrong EED.And best to do that sooner than later- GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University ! When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
