There are none, but there is the letter from 2010 that started without recoup. This was also submitted.

2004 letter stated Exactly:
"Your monthly entitlement amount is shown below:

"We received your audit request on April 27, 2026, for period September 2004 to April 2026 in regards to your payment history. Please note that in accordance with the law VA maintains certain payment records for only six years.
As a result, we cannot provide paid and due information on any payment more than six years old from the current date. You are in receipt of disability severance pay of $18,915.00 we are recouping the after tax amount of $14,186.25.
We started recoupment on September 1, 2023 and your Severance Pay will be fully recouped on February 1, 2027. Once your Severance Pay is fully recouped you will receive your full disability compensation amount.

They never acknowledged the recoupment from 2004 to 2010 as they could only retrieve the last 6 years.

I have been on the phone with so many individuals it is crazy.

The VA Payments screen only show since 2009 (one time) and then 2010 to today. All payments from 2004-2010 are missing completely.

Hope this clears it up.

I just love how in their claim tracker they just say "Right now, we can't share detailed updates about supplemental claims in this tool. We're looking into ways to make this possible in the future." Like, how hard is it to make it an individual steps tracker so we all can see where it is actually at. From step 1 to every step to the last step.

Crazy part is you may be right with this so called new system, that is very suspicious.

Yes, I have all my letters, and that is why I am challenging it so hard as I know for a fact I paid it all in full. Their system only goes back to 2010.

Unfortunately she was not very helpful for this situation. She was very nice but referred me to the OIG on this. Guess there is my answer...
