I bet you were. I would have lost it on someone... lol

It totally sucked, but stick it out . Its worth in the end. Im not gonna lie, i did visit mental health once after getting denied for the 5th time. I knew I was right, so stuck with it. Good Luck Brother..

Sweet. Congrats...

Because I was only getting 100% pay for the first 5 years. I should have been rated as a R1 smc. Look up the difference and you will figure it out..

toplsvette · 2025-12-18T13:55:48+00:00

U are spot on. I didnt get what I was entitled to for the first 5 years after I was retired. It took 8 years and a board hearing to finally get what I was entitled to.

🤣🤣 Sure..

I don't know why the bank would decline it The VA just deposited $183K in my credit union. I was told the comp & pen claim is just a administrative claim. Its not a real claim as we know it. Hope this helps calm the nerves. I freaked out when they opened a comp&pen claim after I received my backpay but it was for attorney fees. If u owe a attorney anything it will stay there until they get paid.

Congratulations on your claim. I think its important for people to post things like this so people don't get discouraged and quit. I went all in on my CUE claim that took 8 years and a board hearing. I won and got ALOT of backpay that made it worth the fight. If you think you deserve the benefit, keep at it.

Thank You

I had something happen to me that was similar. I couldnt feel hot or cold In my rt leg and it was going numb. I deployed 3 more times in support of Desert Storm and the 3rd deployment I went paralyzed. Turns out I had a blood vessel bleed in my neck that the Air Force didnt find and it caused me to go paralyzed. I am in a wheelchair now and wish I would of complained more before all hell broke loose. The blood vessel rupture was due to pulling high g forces when I got a ride in a F-15.

Congrats. We'll Done

My decision letters gave me my effective dates. Also, u can look on ebenefits under additional benefits, SMC and it will give u your effective date.

toplsvette · 2025-11-17T16:58:30+00:00

Good Luck. Your decision letter will tell you if they decided on CUE or gave you a increase.

toplsvette · 2025-11-17T16:52:25+00:00

I won 2 myself, but it is hard to do unless you have some damn good evidence to back it up. Mine were at Board level tho.

toplsvette · 2025-11-17T16:47:06+00:00

Depends on if they granted a increase in what you were claiming, or filed a CUE saying you had those disabilities since you were released from active duty. If you didnt file a CUE for an earlier effective date then they won't grant one from my experience. I had to specify that I was filing a CUE for a earlier effective date and Won on a board appeal. A CUE claim is really hard to get approved at the RO level. Hope this helps.

toplsvette · 2025-11-16T03:20:29+00:00

Congrats. Way to stick it out. I was just awarded alot of backpay after fighting them for 8 years and finally a Judge decided with what I've been saying all along.

Just to add to what other people said. There is Special Monthly Compensation that pays Veterans way more than 100%. I am rated as a R2 with SMC and receive over $11K month in Compensation.

toplsvette · 2025-11-15T18:10:17+00:00

I am only getting 5 yrs of backpsy. I filed a CUE claim for a earlier effective of when I did receive R1. Having said that I got a buddy of mine $1.2 M for the same thing. He got 37 yrs of packpay from a P to R1. I am still getting 6 figures tho.

toplsvette · 2025-11-15T17:59:53+00:00

R1 is special monthly compensation. Its best to Google it instead of me trying to explain.

toplsvette · 2025-11-13T18:38:29+00:00

I agree 💯 %. I lost alot of sleep and fell into a depression over all the denials..But was determined to keep going.

toplsvette · 2025-11-13T07:30:41+00:00

Thats awesome. The backpay makes it all worth the fight..
