PEB findings

If you get concurrent receipt you will get the 52.5. The rest will be waived. It will say VA waiver on your LES
When you say concurrent receipt, what you mean?
Welcome to the PEB Forum!
DFAS Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay (CRDP) allows military retirees to receive both military retired pay and Department of Veterans Affairs (DoVA) compensation. This was prohibited until the CRDP program began on January 1, 2004. Review this URL https://www.dfas.mil/retiredmilitary/disability/crdp.html for detailed information. Take care!
Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer!"
Best Wishes!

Warrior644, thanks for the reply, I noticed you received 70% from DOD, if you don't mind me asking, did you get that % or the % for years served, I read the article but it's a little confusing, my PEBLO is saying I will get the 75% base pay but others are telling me I will get only the % for time served (21yrs 52.5%) though I would ask you since you have been through the process, thanks again.Welcome to the PEB Forum!

Indeed, no worries, you are quite welcome!
From my experiences within the DoD IDES MEB/PEB process then as a military disabled veteran, you should receive the highest of what's called Method A and Method B computations from DFAS (e.g., whichever computation is more beneficial to the veteran). So, your Method A would be 75% of high 36-months base pay and Method B would be 52.5% of high 36-months base pay, or visa versa. As such, in this particular situation, you would receive Method A's computation or 75% of high 36-months of base pay. DFAS should send you a USPS certified letter outlining the summary of your military retired pay account.
In retrospect, in accordance with 10 USC 1401, I am entitled to receive military retired pay computing using my Percentage of Disability (Method A = 70%) or, using my Years of Active Service (Method B = 66.05%). Therefore, my current gross monthly military retired pay which is Method A (above) is most beneficial. Note, that the maximum percentage factor is 75% under any of the pay computation formulas regardless of the number of years of active service you may have or the percentage of disability assigned to you. Take care and enjoy life!

Gm everyone and thank you for your service. I have a rhetorical question if I may. I went through the Med board in 2007 and recently in 2016 I sent my Pdbr paperwork in. I was given 20% when discharged for my neck and degenerative disk disease rated with va at 100%. However I just received my Pdbr result in which they rated me 20% saying that one of my rating beforehand was at 10%. So they raised it to 20%. My question is if you left with 20% for two areas and they rated you Now at 20 for one area wouldn’t that constitute a 30% for both. I’m having discrepancies with my 199 copy when discharged to what they rated me Now. Any assistance or guidance is greatly appreciated
