Recieved notification my FPEB is 24SEP2024 so date is approaching and still have no solid answer from BUPERS, PERS 9 if they are going to follow DOD INST 1332.18 VOl 1, Page 39, Table 2 which states Navy personnel are to be authorized 26 days for administrative seperation, NOT INCLUDING -...

This was brought to PERS-9 attention from me, O6 to another O6, and I was told they were aware but would not be fixed anytime soon aka blown off… Wrong call as this has huge financial implications for families, sailors, as they transition. 41+ years of active duty service and only 2nd time...

I can neither confirm or deny the Navy IG confirmed they are contacting PERS this week. As a complaint about that would have merit. ;)

Yeah I believe the Staff at PERS is pressured to reduce the IDES/LDES timeline and by not allowing sailors to take terminal leave and PTDY it cuts the timeline by 80 days! It’s Wrong to cheat the sailor to make your program timeline look better! I hope PERS starts following existing policy...

There are multiple other references that direct the Navy to place special emphasis on granting maximum terminal leave for disability retirement, here they are: MILPERSMAN 1050-010, Leave Policy, section h. *Special Emphasis on granting leave OPNAVINST 1900.2B, TAMP *Authorized PTDY for TDRL/PDRL...

DoD Instruction 1332.18 Vol 1, Table 2, PG 39, states service members have 26 days for transition, EXCLUDING ACCRUED LEAVE aka terminal leave and PTDY. PERS by instruction is supposed to write disability retirement orders so sailors can take: “106 days” 26 days transition, 60 days terminal...

Ron, Last question: My attorney is getting advice from someone named Doug who is supposed to be the lead trainer at DFAS. Doug is telling my attorney I should waive out of my medical board because PRDL Chapter 61 LONGEVITY and DISABILITY methods are capped at 75% or 30 years?!? I stated over...

Ron, If I stick with Longevity method = $14,123 and enter that on the RAS is that my final Medical Retirement Pay result or do you make further changes to that figure? My VA Disability is 100% so I already have that information from the VA. -Pat

To confirm: I plan on using Longevity - Method B. With over 42 years of service, as long as my DOD Disability is 30% or higher I qualify for PDRL Chapter 61 and Longevity method results in MAX O6 (high three) Medical Retirement. Disability method -A result is all over the place depending on...

Note I changed my DOD disability rating (unknown) to 50% and it dropped my Method A - Disability to $6,806

I plugged in high 3, O6, 42 years of service, and the it accurately calculated both: Method A - Disability at $10,210 Method B - Longevity at $14,123 I believe you can get the calculator to also show your VA Disability on a combined chart! -Pat

Ron, All the references seem to be saying the same thing. English for the layman: Chapter 61 “Disability” Method A cannot exceed Hypothetical Longevity aka Normal base pay calculated using Chapter 61 Method B or the excess Delta must be waived to receive VA Disability.

If member is Chapter 61 PDRL they can receive both Disability retirement and VA Disability. However, if members Chapter 61 “Disability” Retirement (capped at 75%) using DFAS Method A exceeds “Longevity” (2.5% x years of service, no cap) DFAS Method B then member must waive the difference to...
