Good day to all!

I'm not sure if this post should go here but I need some feedback on some pay info that just hit me.

I'm a PO2 that was placed on TDRL in 2020. VA rated at 90%. I was in for 7 years. I have been receiving my VA pay every month since discharge in June of 2020 but I also remember getting paid monthly from DFAS for several months after I was medically "retired". That stopped around January 2021 and honestly I don't recall what it was for. Am I supposed to be receiving some sort of retired pay from DFAS/DoD while awaiting my TDRL final eval (which is in a few days)?

Any info on this would be great because if the pay stopped for some reason and I am able to file for back-pay, I need to know what to do (if that is even possible).

If this was not retired pay, should I reach out to someone and find out specifically what it was for?

Thank you in advance!!

Hello,

Your retired pay would be reduced dollar for dollar in the amount of VA compensation received.

The pay from DFAS you received POST-RETIREMENT might have been retired pay due before receipt of VA compensation. Just a guess.

You can review your retired pay document (aka DFAS RAS) on DFAS MyPay.

You can also call DFAS.
