Not to mention if you find you need to drag it out a little more, you can appeal your IPEB results or request a reconsideration of your proposed VA rating. That would surely put you past the date.

This may help explain it a little clearer. http://www.benefits.va.gov/vocrehab/eligibility_and_entitlement.asp A Veteran participating in the VR&E Program who qualifies for Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits can elect to receive the GI Bill rate of pay instead of the regular Chapter 31 subsistence...

TopSecret, You beat me to it. I might also add that there is a Tricare Retiree's Dental Plan available also.

Don't beat me for this. But you could still sign up for the VA Dental Plan it is pretty cheap. Like $18 per month.

Ok, I think I understand your confusion. VOC Rehab uses the Post 911 but Kicks it up to 48 months and 100% if you were only at say 60 or 80%. It also like Lakerimff says provides everything needed for a successful transition into a new career field, while using your post 911 benefits you also...

Congrats, I too am in the Technician Retirement Process. You are about 2 weeks ahead of me, OPM Received my Packet for Disability Retirement on the 15TH of July. May I ask what you ended up getting for CRSC?

Yes that is for Denial of Regular Disability Retirement. Once that happens they then approve it under public law 97-253 usually within a few days.

To qualify for CRSC you must: be entitled to and/or receiving military retired pay be rated at least 10 percent by the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) waive your VA pay from your retired pay file a CRSC application with your Branch of Service So the answer is yes. You can claim on any...

ScoutCC, Great information. I get it if I was to say increase to 70% the payment would be larger but only up to the 1377.00 amount. Because it is the lower of the 3 numbers. Thanks

ScoutCC, Ok, I re-read your post and Chapter 63 and think I get it now. My VA offset is 1680.00. 50% from VA COMP Scale with Spouse = 917.00 My RPAS gives me 10 Years at 2.5% so that would be around 1377.00 which is listed as my payment if I reach 60 also. Under chapter 63 the section...

Just to add I have about 10 years in active duty points. IE 3700 Points. But I have been in the Reserve for almost 29 Years.

@scoutCC, I have actually read chapter 63, clear as mud...LOL.. When you say reserve years, Does item 3 use the RPAS points converted to active years or actual physical years of service in the Reserve? This is where it is muddy to me. Thanks,

I am not finding any real answers to just how CRSC is calculated for Reserve Component Members. From what I am seeing it will be no CRSC because the Reservist Length of Service Retirement is usually a lot less then his/her active counterpart but that is assuming they calculate it using your...

I am a dual status Technician so I am retiring from both the Reserves and the Depart of the Army Civilian job. I have been a uniformed technician for 28 years. I have already been approved for VOC Rehab and am going to start Computer Network and Security Degree Program, as soon as my civilian...

What are your plans for retirement? The 1st of the month must be an army thing I guess.

Wow, you got your orders fast. Mine took over 3 weeks!!! I take it you are reserve? Your Retirement date not being on the 1ST of the month and all.

They would have let you know If you were found fit, and the VA claim would have closed because you can't be on active duty and collect VA bennies. The fact that it moved to under review means most likely you were found unfit. Did your NARSUM and MEB Proceedings say you didn't meet retention...

Glad to hear it... Feels good to be moving forward in the system!

I was placed on PDRL with 50% PTSD first time out, it is possible.

Great news LuLu!!! Congrats!
