Question
11CINF
Hello all,
So, I was awarded 100% PnT for Pact Act claims today. I filed July 2022 and I think they made a mistake for back pay and dating my award. The Chronic Rhinitis at 10% is dated 2022 but the Sinusitis which is a pact act claim at 50% is dated June 30 2023. I have to appeal this right? Or file a supplemental form For the back pay? I was currently at 90% and if they would've given the Sinusitis the same effective date I would be 100% as of Aug. 10, 2022. Look at the wording on my decision letter. Are they wrong or am I wrong?
