burn pit Retroactive Pay - Following new legislation for Presumptive Conditions
Rate this question
Question
GulfWarVet1990
Good evening, please excuse if I am posting on the wrong forum.
In 2003 VA denied my claim for chronic sinusitis, re: environmental hazard conditions/burn pit during my deployment in theatre, Southwest Asia during the Gulf War.
Post new legislation re: VA recognizing Presumptive Conditions for Burn Pit Exposure, I resubmitted a supplemental claim.
I was granted 10% for chronic sinusitis. Effective 9/20/21
Am I eligible for retroactive pay as far back 2003 due to the new legislation?
I submitted a HLR late November 2021, as expected no action to date.
Has anyone experienced this or have guidance on back pay.
Thank you for your time.

Yes both of these issues you mentioned are still in the VBM ( 2020-2921 Edition.) "This "list" included "regulatory changes", that (are often overlooked) by the VARO which would/could entitle th
