Hey Marines,
Cpl. Butler here I had a quick question about some benefits. I am rated 50% threw the VA for PTSD. I got rated in nov 2007 and got back pay since my EAS and a check every month since than. My question is that I got Married on Jan 26th 2008 and was looking around the VA website and saw the pay charts for 50% disabled Marines and than It said Veteran with spouse and it was more money i am getting 770 a month now and w/ a spouse its 845 a month and i have yet to receive that amount yet. So more of the story is after i got married i went to my OPC to let them know and they said something along the lines that they where a Fiscal year behind so i couldn't let them know i was married till the next year. Well I didn't want to deal with it all and i was moving so I forgot and never let the VA know i was married. My basic question is do you get more for being married and did they just pull my strings or is there something to this year behind stuff? If they are just jerking me around what about back pay? Let me know Marines, I am confused as hell about this. OOH RAH!
