Legal Question


Service-connected low back pain

Retired from USMC in 1995 after 20 years service. Applied at VA for service-connection of low back pain diagnosed by military physician in 1992 as degenerative disc disease. In 1995 it was denied by the VA as ''not well founded''. But in 2005 I asked again and they granted me 10% service-connected! Am I entitled to back-dated payment to my 1995 claim?
