My friend retired on 1 September and his VA claim was approved with an effective date of 2 September. He did not get his first VA 100% compensation check until November and it was for October. He thought he was supposed to get paid for September, and I do not know the answer to that question. He was rated P & T with effective date of 2 September 2019. he did not get any retro pay. He did call the VA several times but was given confusing answers, one person told him it was due to some law passed in 1989??

Thanks for the comments. I was so excited to get my pay and some retro, that did not notice that my effective date was middle of month, so I did not get a participial month either. Feel like the VA is
