DD Form 2656 Help!

[LightDutyWarrior]

Hello,

I'm medically retiring with about 4 years of service and am filling out the DD form 2656. I have yet to find a Retirement Service Counselor and am looking for assistance from fellow service members.

Here is some general info about me
- I'm rated DOD 30%/VA 70%
- No Dependents
- 4 years of service
- EAS 20240929
- I am planning to utilize GI Bill and VR&E for college asap after Retirement.
- California Citizen

Anything helps. Ask me anything if you need more clarification. Thank you in advance.

Hello, for a medical retirement, I’d contact your installation’s Retirement Services Office (RSO) and ask specifically for help with DD Form 2656 for a Chapter 61 medical retirement. Your 30% DoD and 70% VA ratings can affect how your payments interact, so it’s best to have RSO or DFAS confirm the figures rather than relying on general advice.

Also keep copies of your retirement orders, VA decision letter, and completed DD Form 2656. Check more information in bad time simulator which is amazing.
