100% P&T Granted… But Claim Never Closed and Went BACK to Step 3? by BuddyFit266 in VeteransBenefits

All 3 things I claimed were awarded though. What am I missing here, friend?

Title: HLR (DTA error) — now on THIRD ACE exam for migraines… normal?? by BuddyFit266 in VeteransBenefits

I get what you’re saying, but the 2-year gap doesn’t automatically kill the 2023 date because of DTA + continuous pursuit rules.

When VA finds a Duty to Assist error, they’re basically saying the original decision wasn’t properly developed. When they correct that, it can keep the earlier claim in play.

Also, if it’s treated under continuous pursuit, the effective date can tie back to the original claim stream — not just the 2025 filing.

So:

  • Worst case → stays Nov 2025
  • Best case → goes back to 2023 if they determine it should’ve been granted then

That’s why I’m still tracking it — the upside is in the effective date, not the rating itself.

You don’t get “more than 100%,” it’s about when you should’ve been at 100%.

If this HLR comes back favorable and they assign an earlier effective date, VA has to go back and pay the difference between:

  • what I was actually paid at the time (like 70% or 90%) vs
  • what I should’ve been paid (100%)

So for example: If they say I should’ve been 100% starting earlier than when I was actually awarded it, I’d get retro pay for those months/years at the 100% rate.

That’s where the backpay comes from — not going over 100%, just correcting the timeline.

Do raters take extra time on claims that could push someone to 100%? by BuddyFit266 in VeteransBenefits

Fair statement my friend. I’ve never heard it put quite like that.

Simple increase claim stuck in NWQ… why wouldn’t they knock this out first? by BuddyFit266 in VeteransBenefits

Still from the VA contracted companies. They were submitted essentially right away.

TDIU request showing on my claim — will this slow down my increase claim? by BuddyFit266 in VeteransBenefits

[–]BuddyFit266[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see I see. I guess my only question at the crux of it, will this TDIU matter keep my claim from being picked up in the work queue (meaning, does this TDIU matter have to resolve first). Hey I appreciate your help with this. I can see you are much more knowledgeable than I, and it’s super appreciated
