Default Who Processes Retirement Orders?

I am not sure if I am posting this in the right place, but anyone with knowledge or experience on this please respond.
Earlier this week I received 30% TDRL from FPEB and I accepted the rating. My question is who will process my retirement orders? I am a National Guard soldier that was mobilized for OIF III, and was injured while in Iraq. The injury is listed by the PEB as combat related, but I demobilized in 2006 and received a DD214 for that period of service. My PEBLO informed me that my retirement order will be coming from my unit, and when I contacted my unit admin, he said that they would be issue me an NGB 22 (National Guard equivalency to DD 214) and transfer me to the retired reserve list.
He also said that I would need to attend retirement and finance briefings which are held at Fort Lewis, WA. When I called to schedule the briefings, they told me I would need my retirement orders and DD 214 listing medical retirement. When I explained to them that I would not receive a DD 214 they said that I would not need the briefings since they are for LOS retirements and medical retirements from WTU.
I am confused on what type of retirement I will be receiving (National Guard or active duty), and my unit is equally as confused. I also want to know if my retirement pay will be based on my drill pay, or the pay I received while mobilized, and will I receive another DD 214 showing disability retirement.
My unit has the attitude of “wait and see what shows up in your bank account and then you will know what type of retirement it is”, but I prefer to plan my finances and I believe there must be some type of regulation guiding this process. If anyone has dealt with this, please let me know where I can find the information. Thanks

Don't mean to be a downer, but good luck!!! Hubby is active duty. The Army extended his original separation date (Aug 23) to a new retirement date (Sept 25). That was in July. When we did his finance appt. at the end of July, no one had fixed the date and as far as the Army was concerned our pay ended as of Aug 23. We finally got confirmation that the date had been fixed as of this Wednesday Aug 6. However, finance has told us that they cannot give us a retirement paycheck amount becuase a separate DFAS handles that so we will not know our true amount until retirement DFAS processes the paperwork sometime after his retirement date in September-- they told them to give them at least one month. No one can tell us the date that we will get a retirement check either, just "probably about two months after your separation date, maybe sooner, but don't count on it." Finance here won't even tell us the amount we will get paid for his "cashed in leave" or the date that it will be deposited in our account. They won't even estimate the pay but will say that the date should be "about 10 days after separation, give or take 14 days." WHAT???? I'm a preplanner like you and I'm about to go nuts! Maybe someone can help you with the other questions and both of us with the paycheck question.
