VA appeals granted after 5 years, do I get retro pay?

Question

I had an appeal granted on 10/4/19 for 10% disability. The effective date is 4/23/14.It doesn't raise my overall disability. Do I get any retro pay?

Answer 1

Being awarded retroactive payments is the DEFINITION of an effective date in the past.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised it you misread the date.
