BVA– YOUR EFFECTIVE DATE

This decision will hopefully clear up any confusion Vets may have as to what day is the official beginning of their benefits from VA. The law is very clear on this but Vets are fuzzy on what can be considered the start of the procedure.

Others feel that if they got sick on a certain date then that should be the beginning. The truth is clearly explained here. If you are asking for an increase on your rating and you can prove your case, VA will go back a year prior to the request. Read on. http://www.va.gov/vetapp08/Files4/0831928.txt Any questions?
