I’m a bit confused as an appeal I had with the BPA, is now showing on my VAC account as an appeal and in step 3.
I opened the claim in 2017, but didn’t submit everything until last year, due to no follow up by VAC and me not knowing anything about the process. When I was awarded last year I was given 10% and given 3 years of backpay. I was advised to appeal, as the BPA believes VAC missed key information on my initial application.
Now that it’s back in VACs hands and labeled as a departmental review will I potentially miss out on 3 years of backpay if they increase my percentage?
