        @akitt001, delete your post from this thead information technology's iv years erstwhile and get-go a new thread/postal service and I'm certain you'll get your question anwsered.

        I'm not retired so DFAS did not effective me, but I've read 8 months and even longer.

        Expert luck moving forrad.

          How long does VA take to consequence Back Pay in 2022 afterwards audit is returned from DFAS? My audit was completed and returned to VA on 5 Sep.


            Sep 09, 2019 #5

            No one really knows, could exist days, weeks, or months.  But the good affair is it is back from DFAS.  I've heard DFAS is unremarkably the hold up and when information technology get done from them the VA runs its own audit. I sure someone with a more than solid reply will come up forth.  When did your claim shut and how long did it take to get dorsum from DFAS?


              Sep 09, 2019 #vi

              @Loadtoad141 my merits airtight Aug 9th and went to DFAS audit from there. Confirmed from DFAS it was in the batch just transmitted to VA on v Sept. So it took a little under a month to get back from DFAS.


                Sep 09, 2019 #7

                awesome, mine closed on 21 Aug...hopefully came back to VA on 5 Sept... but however continuing-by.  I did non get the increment in my 1 Sep cheque, but figured once I saw it airtight on 21 Aug.


                  Sep 09, 2019 #8

                  my increase showed on eBennies before the Sept and I received my increase in Sept check. The increment showed in the VA letter generator in eBennies before Sept 1st. I also have an increase showing in the letter generator as to my monthly compensation at present that my dependency claimed closed on 29 Aug just no back pay yet for that or my increase.


                    Sep 09, 2019 #nine

                    What is the constructive engagement of the increase?

                         I received the award letter that has the constructive date as of Jan 2109 for my compensation increase.

                          how did you confirm from DFAS? is there a number yous call or did your VSO have the information?

                            I confirmed with DFAS past calling ane-800-321-1080 and they informed me of the date that my Audit Error Worksheet was transmitted to VA.

                              Audits and Payments.

                              1.  DFAS transmits inspect results to the VA only once a calendar month and that is around the 5th of a month every bit reported before in this thread.

                              2.  To my cognition, there is no guaranteed timeline for the VA to generate retroactive VA compensation due to the retiree.  In my case, I waited one year+ for each retro payment (two) several years ago.

                              3.  Speculation on how long a wait currently:  One to iii months after the VA receives the audit results.  It is a moving target...

                              4.  Understandably, veterans are curious near how long they must wait for a payment.   I suspect it depends on how many other veterans are ahead of an individual (take been waiting longer).  It is my agreement the VA works first in; first out (which is fair).

                                    That range fits the anecdotal evidence I see oftentimes and in 2022 on another site for veterans.

                                        My final three took between 4 and 6 weeks after the audit was done and information technology was dorsum at the VA. .

                                            Does the retro payment evidence equally a merits or any other indication on ebennies? Or doe sit just appear in your business relationship on day?

                                                  Received a letter today from VA stating to wait any retro monies owed to be deposited within seven-x days.


                                                    Sep 17, 2019 #25

                                                    Okay the award letter I received was for my Dependency claim award letter which had calculations on it showing my withheld amounts and also stated that "If payments are due, you should receive your showtime payment, if not already in receipt of payments, with 7-x days of this observe." The letter is dated the 6th of Sept but I received it on thirteen Sept.

                                                    Are they referring to my (withheld pay amount) which is the retro pay?
                                                    What date are they referring to, the engagement on the alphabetic character or the date I received information technology?

                                                    I'm confused.

                                                      Its an gauge. Based on the date on the letter - how would VA know when you would actually receive the letter?

                                                        It was more of a  Rhetorical question :). But it is talking about the retro pay correct?

                                                          The quotation in a higher place is standard boiler plate information and is mentioned in M21-i Adjudication Procedures Manual.

                                                          You should receive your retroactive compensation soon if any is due to yous.   As Nick mentioned, the vii-10 days is an estimate.  It is standard boiler plate data.

Thanks for everyone'south advice... Going to go drink a scrap, with a wearisome sipping erstwhile bottle of scotch...been eyeing a bottle of 18 year quondam Macallans for a bit... 25 is a bit much...

I was nether the impression that DFAS took longer with the audit then VA.  Has anyone experienced an AEW in 2022 staying at VA longer than information technology was at DFAS?
