If my disability rating increases, can I get backpay to when I initially started collecting? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/if-my-disability-rating-increases-can-i-get-backpay-to-when-i-initially-started-collecting <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Not sure how this board works so sorry if I&#39;m putting this in the wrong place. My compensation rating just increased from 40% combined to 80%. I originally started collecting in 2015. Will the va have to pay the difference back to that date? No change in condition, the just underrated me initially.
