Question
Niceguy1958
a friend that was awarded a 20% monthly benefit last year filed a secondary claim which was grante that increased his monthly award to 60% and he received 4 months back pay for himself. When at 20% he never mentioned having a wife &2 kids at 20% they would be a non factor. He now sent in his marriage licence and birth certificates of his dependents. My question is this - would he be able to get the 4 month back pay for them or is it too late?

Yes, as long as he is within a year of the VA notifying him that his compensation was increased above the 30% rating, he should be good to go.
