VA-certified disability benefits lawyer Krystal Lechner explains what effective dates are and why getting the right one is so important for veterans filing a claim or appeal with the VA.
The VA will award back pay (also known as retroactive pay) all the way back to your effective date. That means when you receive a favorable decision, the VA will owe you the difference between the amount you were paid and how much you were owed. The wrong effective date could mean losing a large percentage of your potential back pay.
