I actually wondered the same thing. I just received my first pay from both Dfas and the VA and that is exactly what happened. I was paid by Dfas first. a couple of days later, I got a got a letter from the VA saying that my Dfas pay was deducted and they paid the offset amount. In all, it...

Update. So my official retirement date is December 4, 2015 instead of December 28th. Not sure why my date changed while I was on leave but apparently it did. I now owe back the money paid to me on December 15th because its now an overpayment. My VA claim is still at preparation for decision. I...

I called PSD from my last command and found out my retirement date changed after I was on terminal. It was changed to Dec 4th. I was under the impression I was on terminal the whole time when apparently I was discharged. My DD214 says Dec 28th so they told me they would send me a DD215 in the...

I retired Dec 28 and haven't received my last pay yet.

Yes. I picked Dec 4th but my separation orders had a separation date of Dec 28. I went on terminal a few days after I received my separation orders after I finished checking out.

Has anyone received their final active duty pay? I haven't even received that yet. DFAS says it takes 20 days, but I am past that and still no final pay.

It took 3 weeks to get my separation orders from the day signed accepting my findings. My separation date was Dec 29th. I selected Dec 4th.

My eBenefits says Preparation for Decision. I am not sure if this is referring to my original claim or my additional claims. I was told by the VA to claim 9 more disabilities after they reviewed my medical record. I was told by a VA rep that if I applied before I was discharged, I would receive...

Thanks for answering all of my questions. I was really confused about all of it. No one really explained it to me. I was told I would be receiving my disability compensation on January 1st but that didn't sound right because I just retired on the 29th. I didn't realize it would take months to...

My retirement date is December 29, 2015. I haven't received my official rating yet. Did you add any additional claims after you received your proposed rating? Also, did you receive your last military pay check before you got your VA compensation?

Thank you for the information

I literally just posted a similar question. I added additional claims after being rated and am not sure if I will receive a new rating before my terminal leave ends. eBenefits says pending decision approval for me as well and has requested my DD214. I don't understand why I would have to fax...

After receiving your rating, for those who added additional claims, how long did it take to receive your new rating that including the new claims? The VA recommended that I add 4 disabilities so I filled out another form to include those as well. eBenefits has been saying pending decision...
