Has anyone had this happen?
My original VA claim (submitted after leaving active duty Nov 2011) had a "pending decision" but was "closed" as of Jul 1st, 2013. A new claim dated Apr 12th, 2013 was opened as "claim received" which is the day my PEB packet was sent to VA for ratings. Just wondering if this normal?
My understanding is I would have received VA back-pay to the date the original claim was received. How is that impacted by the PEB final decision with or without severance, retirement, VA pay?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you
