0 Moderator broncovet Posted May 31, 2020 Moderator Share Posted May 31, 2020 We dont know what the effective date should be because we dont know the date the doc said your conditions first met the criteria for a combined 20 percent. (facts found). Your effective date is the later of the facts found or date you first applied. If your doc said you were disabled on the date you applied, you could/should appeal the decision disputing the effective date (and disability percentages if you are so inclined.).
