Question
El Train
Long story short. I claimed scars in 1993 when I exited military. Denied, couldn't find records. Denial letter states 'if we find your records we may reconsider'. Fast forward to to 2017. Found my records in storage, filed again for scars. Got 10%. Filed an NOD and got an outside IME. Had another VA C&P that turned out great in my favor. 80% overall for scars. Hired a law firm to get back pay from 93. They granted the retro at the original 10% and not the increased 80%. Go figure. They aren't gonna give that 80% back to 1993 easily I guess. The fight continues. I'll keep everyone posted.
The fact they backdated states they agree it should be granted I suppose.
