Question A. I was previously denied for apnea – Should I refile a claim?

Can a 100 percent Disabled Veteran Work and Earn an Income?
You’ve just been rated 100% disabled by the Veterans Affairs. After the excitement of finally having the rating you deserve wears off, you start asking questions. One of the first questions that you might ask is this: It’s a legitimate question – rare is the Veteran that finds themselves sitting on the couch eating bon-bons … Continue reading

Question

Howdy All,
I recently was bumped up to 100% from 90% after most of my NOD was ruled in my favor by the higher level review in the legacy process. So this is definitely not a complaint. The NOD approvals made my effective date 29 Dec 2017. The back pay was supposed to be for around 28 months. Then like 2 weeks later after I received the decision I received retroactive pay. Unfortunately it was only for about 15 months. I submitted an IRIS request about it. So now they are doing an audit. The original claim that I filed the NOD for bumped me from 40% to 90% effective 29 Dec 2017. So they took about six months on that one cause it also affected my military retirement pay. They got that right. The VA rep thinks that who ever submitted the NOD details for retroactive pay saw all of the original stuff and probably made a mistake on the dates. So food for thought, if you are successful and get bumped up that requires retroactive pay double check it. If it's not correct let the VA know. I used the "Retro Pay Calculators" that I found online via Google. Not foolproof but pretty close. I'll post an update when I get one.

Good news. Apparently the audit is done. I just received the remaining retro-active pay. Glad their calculators work. 🙂
