Update on Getting My Back Pay

Two days ago I went to the website of Senator Bill Nelson at billnelson.senate.gov and filled out a form asking for his help with my back pay that I am owed. It has been over 8 1/2 MONTHS since the BVA decided to increase the disability rating on my back and I still haven't been paid for this increase! I have called at least 5 times on this matter and I keep getting excuses, but no money! I have even written them asking when I will get my money and so far I have yet to get a reply! They acknowledge receiving the letter but have yet to reply to it. They tell me that there is nothing in the computer about being owed any back pay! So, I asked the senator to look into this and find out why I haven't been paid yet and when I will be. If I don't hear from him by August 2, 2007 I will call his office and try to find out what is up. I may end up having to go to his office in Tampa to fill out some forms or something. I do hope that I don't have to travel to Tampa.
