Yeah I have received it but only from August of 2022 why did I not receive it immediately after I was discharged because I was hospitalized while in the Navy and why didn’t they not go back to 1992 when I was discharged I applied but kept getting denied and I almost gave up on receiving it until my roommate gave me a little support in keeping going with it

SN Jeffrey Munson I have modified my response because you revised your question. The link below provides VA Disability effective dates

I am making an assumption that you are referring to a VA Disability Claim and not a 'disability pension' from the military.

The answer MOST LIKELY is that you weren't appealing the denied claim. If you were appealing it than the original effective date would have been maintained (there are a few other uncommon exceptions). It sounds like you were creating new claims (or, at least, the last one that was submitted in August 2022 was a new claim) and that is why the effective date was in 2022.

Actually I was appealing it but I let it go for a couple of years and then reopened it and then I received it I had the NYS Veterans Service Officer help and the first one was not very helpful at all then he retired and got a new one and he was the most helpful.
