Hello, I got pdbr done in june from the army and got retired and stuff, i get v.a. money so i know that is more than retirement so no back pay or any pay at all.
But I got a statement from dfas stating that they have now created my account, and that i am recieving 1241 dollars end of month pay and withholding 74 for sbp(which i marked for decline).
Does anybody know what this could be? It is too high to be a retired pay, i was only in for 7 years, and i get va money,...did dfas screw up or am i missing something?

any insight would be greatly appreciated.
 
I just started getting my DFAS statements as well. The first statement showed SBP election as well. I received another statement a day later showing the SBP was declined. The conversation I have actually had with someone knowledgable at DFAS stated all declined SBP election work like this.
 
Thankyou perci for the reply. The info on the sbp is good to know...thankyou very much.
I am still confused as to why i am getting money...I have been getting v.a. since i got out, and i also had a severance pay, so if anything i should be having money withheld not a 1200 deposit..Do you have any thoughts on this?
 
Not sure of your current situation with the extra pay. Do you get CRSC? Does your DFAS statement show your VA offset pay? Mine specifically shows my DFAS retired pay then it show the VA offset then the total amount I will get from DFAS. Currently my DFAS retirement is much more then my VA disability pay.
I have to file another VA claim so they raise my total VA disability to match what DOD decides in the PDBR. After this is done my VA disability pay will offset my entire DOD retirement pay.
 
The statement was weird, no info really, just said my retirement account has been established and said on dec. 31 i will get 1200 bucks and 74 was withheld due to sbp. I havent' applied for crsc yet(waiting for my retirement account to be made). my dfas retirement should be 354 dollars a month based on high 3, 7 years in and getting out 2007 and pdbr giving me 30 percent from army. I get 50 percent from va, so my pay is like 1036.....
The statement said nothing regarding my v.a.....idk so every calc i do doesnt fit the 1241, even thought they may be back paying the tdrl reconstructed vs va, but that doesnt fit.
I am being a dumass just ancy cuz i called dfas and they don't open again till the 27th, so i appreciate you perci for engaging with me.
 
From what I can tell on my DFAS statements, if it was your actual monthly retirement it would have your VA offset. Your statement leads me to believe it’s for some sort of back pay.
 
go to mypay and read your RAS statements at the bottom of it will cover major election changes under your account. Post it here redact all personal information if you want us to look over it or if you have more questions.
