I received my award letter from my CSRC the other day. I was awarded 70% CSRC, which I am pleased with. It did take the 11 months that they said it would. Something that should be mentioned so as not to dissuade others who are going to apply, this is normal and it is worth it. If you are entitled, then submit.
However, here is my question. I read that on average it takes about 30-60 days from the time of the first payment of the CSRC to receive the retroactive pay. I will receive my first payment at the end of this month (November 2018). So, the question is this. For either those who have been awarded CSRC, how long did it take to receive their back pay? Is it the actual 60 days? I am reading that you should receive back pay from the time of retirement, therefore I should receive a year of back pay from October of 2017, since my first payment is not until the end of this month.
I am just trying to figure out if anyone is tracking that the information that I am reading is correct?
