Good evening everyone, bit of a weird one here. I was medically retired in 2020 following a combat injury. Put on TDRL, and transitioned to PDRL in 2024. I'm in the process of applying for CRSC and was initially denied for 'not meeting the criteria, service member not in a retired status.'...

Hey all, like the title says. I know the general guideline is 20 to 120 days per DFAS (hyperlinks in the number of days), but anything more precise than 20-120 days would help ease the anxiety lol. If any USN folks who medically separated or med retired recently are still lingering around, can...

I had a few questions concerning the RAS from DFAS. I'm recently retired. 1. Is there a way to see how DFAS calculated the high 36 amount? My retirement day was on the 28th of the month. It appears that DFAS did not add that month into their calculations. When I run the math without that...

Good Afternoon I'm new here so forgive me. I recently retired medically at 70% DOD and 80% VA. I went with the VA compensation for the tax free option and it was more convenient for me. Either way I received what I believe was my final active duty check on March 30th. My final active duty day...

Anyone here get told by DFAS that some of their retroactive pay has to come from the VA? DFAS only paid out about 40% of my calculation and said the VA owes me money. Is this common?

Hello all, I have recently been medically separated from the Navy. I have now received 2 active-duty paychecks that I shouldn't have gotten due to me now being a civilian. I understand that the military will come back for this overpayment and that I will be responsible for paying this money...

Some good info For Military Retirees (Chapter 61, Medical, or Regular) That declined SBP Coverage. The NDAA has allowed an SBP Open Season. Allowing you the ability to get SBP back. Links all below. This is great because they removed the SBP-DIC offset. Meaning Survivors can draw both benefits...

So I have a quick question for anyone with knowledge on my unique situation. I haven’t seen anyone with a problem like this or speak on it so hopefully it can help a few members out. I initially entered the Army through Army reserves in 2014. I ended up mobilizing to deploy in 2018 I was...

I called the DFAS office to get an updates in regards to establishing a retirement account, and they told me that my account is under congressional review, can someone tell me what that means. BTY, I was retired medically through ABCMR. Your inputs will be much appreciated

Good Day, so I’ve seen on here that a medically retired mbr’s pay out will be offset. However, a friend of mine sent me the attached. Has anyone else received both DAV and DFAS at 75%(with less than 30yrs of srvc) without any offset?

I was recently retired through a MEB. Like many I waived retirement pay to receive VA Compensation. As a reservist I was not entitled to retirement pay until the age of 60, and my 20+ years only added up to about 11.5 AD years. Strangely, my retired pay amount at DFAS shows my retirement...

Hello All, I wanted to share some advice that I have for MEB Boards and being combat injury retired. 1) Your base pay is totally tax free. If they tax you here is the link from DFAS. https://www.dfas.mil/retiredmilitary/manage/taxes/isittaxable.html 2) If you apply for a GS job then it’s...

Hello All, I have been retired since 10/31/2017 and still have not received retirement pay. DFAS is telling me that due to the 1204 code, I am not entitled to CRDP. Please help! I have my 20 year letter with 23 good years for retirement, 14+ years active duty, and 35 years under contract without...

Hello all, sorry this is long! My husband was put on 40% DoD TDRL as an O4 (21 years 4 months of service) with all combat related injuries in 2016. His VA rating is 100% permanent and total. He currently receives CRDP for both his TDRL and VA pay. His base pay at retirement was $7526. He took...

Under the submit a claim option to file for your tax pack on your severance pay it asks you for a 9 digit account number such as: IN123J321 What is this number and where do I find it? It says i can view it on my les but i cant even access my les on mypay anymore for some reason. I was separated...

Is the annual military 1.6% (whatever the number may be for a particular year) pay raise taken into account for retirement pay? (that would suck for people who retired when salaries were low as hell a couple of years ago if not)

Hello everyone, I'm a former navy reservist. I was injured and had an LOD from an incident that occurred in the summer of 12 on drill. I had surgery in 2014 and was still not better. I went through the PEB process and an IPEB declared me unfit for service in April of 15. I signed the 10% unit...
