When will I get paid for my new rating and do I get back pay?? Please help. Tried calling the VA nobody knew…
I submitted a claim 5/3/26 got approved 5/26/26. (Very quick turn around). My paperwork shows my new VA rating effective date as 5/3/26. It’s now Sunday 5/31/26. I already received my June payment on 5/29/26. Which is weird because June 1 is on a Monday. Anytime my payment is on a Monday they wait and pay me then. This time they paid me 3 days early on a Friday.
Anyways if my effective date for my claim is 5/3/26 shouldn’t I get paid June 1 with my new rating?
Will they backpay the 3 weeks? (It’s okay with me if they don’t. I’m just curious.)
Why would they pay my old rating even though I have a new rating early this month?
Will I receive a partial payment in a couple weeks?
Wouldn’t really care if I wasn’t struggling with funds at the moment. We just had a kid so a Massive medical bill was drafted from our account and I could have really used that payment. My disability does prohibit me from working from time to time. Due to the nature of my career. I’ve had multiple surgeries because of it.
Anyways I am so beyond blessed I finally got my compensation approved. Especially in such a quick fashion. It only took a few surgeries to prove my medical problems but that’s neither here nor there. So don’t take my question as being ungrateful because I’m not. I feel blessed. And extremely thankful.
If anyone has experience with this I’d love to hear it.
Thanks and God bless the Vets.
