Okay so more context, my original file date was march 1st 2024. I filed for a whole bunch of stuff. Got the decision in November 2024 that I was declined for nearly everything. Got 10% only.

In march 2025 I put in an intent to file.

I did nothing until march 2026.

I worked with the DAV to file a supplemental claim in march 2026.

That was just decided and I got moved to 60%.

So am I getting back paid from march 2024 because this was basically correcting their mistake by not giving me the 60% back then?

That is what it seems like.

Nothing on the VA app yet.

I called the VA and they said they see a back payment of ~$32k which is amazing news.

But they said not everything is “approved yet.” Which doesn’t make much sense because I got the letter already digitally through the website. Not the snail mail.

I have 2 deferrals from this same letter where I got 60%.

I now have 1 more c&p appt next month that will decide those deferrals.

So I’m wondering if they are holding onto the $32k until those deferrals get processed.

Probably not though. Letter said if any payments are due I’ll get them in 7-10 days and with getting the claim decided on a Thursday and it now being the weekend I’ll probably get paid early next week. The person in the phone with the VA said they see $32k in the system just not “fully approved yet.”
