Hi everyone.
I didn’t get bah for 13 months, started the paper work this January.
I finally submitted documents in my duty station finance office.
I submitted around mid October and the clerk said it will be deposited on Nov 15th.
I still didn’t get my back pay :( i googled about it and they only have information about va disability pay or retirement. I tried to call DFAS but they didn’t answer the phone..
How can I find out about the status? Should I go to the local finance office?
Thank you :)

You need to go back to your finance office where you're stationed.

This is a tougher challenge than most ppl think. I worked a similar issue for one of my members when I was on AD. It’s a shame to know that when a member is overpaid, the service doesn’t hesitate to reach into the member’s pocket for reimbursement but when he’s underpaid, they’re slow to admit that a mistake was made.
Best resolution practice: have your documentation in order (proof of underpayment). Get your command involved thru the appropriate channels. It takes a pitbull of a Sergeant Major to cut through the red tape while the finance ppl are finger pointing as to whose fault it is for this oversight, all of which, is effectively slowing the process. Be patient. This isn’t the only challenge the command is working at any given time.
