Again, it depends. I got mine back 10 days later. It may be hard to get out by FEB. Took a month for me to get orders (Navy) after I accepted the boards findings. There is a lot to make sure you get right before you get out so make sure you have an idea what needs to be squared away. You...

I should have been paid 1 DEC for NOV since I became VA eligible on 30 OCT with benefits starting 1 NOV and then be expecting my second check 1 JAN. I’m hoping I see two checks next week. One for NOV backpay and one for regular pay. DOD side should now be correct for CRDP too.

Medically retired on 29 OCT and I'm still waiting to see a VA paycheck. I think it is more to do with the fact that I am eligible for CRDP and had to wait for the VA and DFAS to work it out. It took the VA about 30 days just get my final case review done and about another 10 days to get the...

There's no difference if I follow what you are saying correctly. Separately, 70% PTSD and 10% TBI gives you a total percentage of 73% which would get rounded down to 70%. With a 70/40 combined rating your percentage will also be 70%. Obviously you are still 100% P&T per your first post which...

Great point GS! Presumption of Fitness (PFIT) takes over at that point.

Go to the doc. You need to start documenting it now so at least u get paid for it from the VA later. If u don’t document early and often the the VA may not recognize it. If they put you in for a MEB you will probably make it to 20 anyway while everything goes through the process and all the...

The may have put your TBI and PTSD together bc someone said it is not possible to differentiate the two. Ch 35 only gets you the stipend. No tuition or books.

It’s in committee and I’m sure it will stay there for a while.

Your dead-on Ron and its something I was aware of and planned for in setting my medical retirement date to maximize my last active duty pay and my coming VA pay. Everyone should be aware of the regulations and take advantage when and if you can. In my case I chose very carefully. I initially...

You pretty much nailed it.. You'll get the $3495 pay (A) probably the first month after you get out. It will take about a month or more for the VA to do your final rating stuff and then send everything to DFAS to work out your CRDP. Once that takes effect, you will get $4191 (B). So the short...

I medically retired 10/29. Got paid for 10/15-10/29 on 11/1. Leave sell back check was deposited 11/8. First retirement check for NOV came on 1 DEC. Still haven't received a payment from the VA, but I'm eligible for CRDP and I just got a letter from DFAS last week about the change to retired...

The answer, of course, is it depends... It depends on how much pay she is entitled to now and the outcomes from the board and the percentages assigned. The only thing similar to what you are asking could be if military finds her unfit but assigns a rating below 30%. In that case she'd get some...

Yes, they are different. You military disability rating is only for the injury/condition(s) you were referred to the board for that prevent you from doing your military job. The military rating percentage for that injury or condition will be that same as the VA rating. The VA rating is for...

Sent you a message...

You will have to appeal to the BCNR and I would definitely recommend an attorney. Just so you know, the BCNR process takes a year or more sometimes to even get to hearing so be prepared. Good luck!

If you are 100% permanent on DOD side with a combat rating, then all of your DOD pay will be tax free as well as any pay you get from VA. The CRSC may not even matter but it really depends on your particular situation.

If you are trying to get SSDI then you should probably be answering yes to that question. That's the whole point of SSDI.

This is so wrong and it seems to be a trend. You should not be denied just because you are on active duty! They don't even read their own instructions. Here's what it says: DI 10505.023 Military Service A. General A person in the military service who is being treated for a severe impairment...

Yeah, I would have put that in there for sure! I would also say somthing about your military earning not being considered an SGA since you were in the process of a MEB.

This section of SECNAVINST 1850.4E is what most people use to come up with the 18 year "safe" statement, but the fact is you are not guaranteed anything in the MEB process: 6007 Voluntary Retention CHNAVPERS and CMC (M&RA) also may, upon a member's request, particularly from a member with over...
