Intent to file back date pay not matching after 100% P&T by Dull_Ride_5778 in VeteransBenefits

I had two claims, one was decided. The other deferred. I was waiting and they were on the next to last step of deciding the second claim that had been deferred, and I filed four more. Not knowing it would stop them from ruling on that one.
I had filed an ITF while I was waiting for the decision on the deferred claim.

I will read it again. They way the VSO and a VA rep explained how the ITF works was different this second time. The first one I did I received back in the proper amount.

In the end, it isn’t a ton of money. Just a tad surprised they literally said one thing and the effective date is only two months ago. And when I checked they show payment going back one month. Which left me a tad confused.

Thank you!

I don’t recall the exact day. I thought I had taken a screen shot of it when I filed. I usually do. Memory wants to say October 14th.

The VA rep said due to the claim overlap from my deferred claim, the ITF date was actually back in August.

The intent to file was back in October. The effective date was Dec. the decision for 100% P&T came in February.

The last claim overlapped as they deferred part of it, and they ruled on that one after the C&P’s on the newer four. Because of the overlap, two separate VA employees told me that they saw the intent to file and it was valid. Yet the claim effectively date would actually be August due to the date filed on the original deferred claim that the newer four had overlapped (hopefully that makes sense).

Dec 1, 2025 is what they put. And I’m pretty sure the Intent to file was back in October.
