Thanks RonG! I was thinking this might end up being the case but I am really happy with the residual pay of over $1200 which is more than I expected. Hopefully, chapter 61 retirees will get full VA and DoD retirement at some point in the future. I pray for this for all impacted by the unfair...

Thank you RonG!

I alsmost forgot to mention.. On the CRSC award letter is states: "PARTIAL CR-SMC: The combined SMC-49 entitlement awarded by the VA is not combat-related. The lesser SMC-01 is payable under CRSC and is effective FEB 21-present" I noticed under ebenefits that my sleep apnea isn't listed as...

Hi Ron, Please see replies below: 1. Your high three for base pay is the total of the highest 36 months of base pay (usually the last three years) divided by 36. Being a reserve component soldier who deployed to Afghanistan back in 2012\2013 I had no way of accessing what my high 3 was but...

Greetings veterans, I am now officially medically retired and approved for CRSC at 100%. The CRSC hasn't appeared yet in MyPay so I'll provide my updated numbers here that I can currently see in MyPay and hopefully we can figure it out. I still can't understand this voodoo magic. 1. Your high...

Jobey, you are very welcome brother, I hope this helps to ease your mind.

Jobey, the form 21-4138 only has the following verbiage pre-filled in it. You just sign and send back to the MSC. "*************I do not wish to file for VA compensation with the MSC/IDES Program. I am currently SC 100%. Please continue to process my pending 020...

Jobey, I just made it all the way through the PEB process and as of 22 JAN 2021 I will be officially medically retired and on the PDRL. I was already at 100% for PTSD with the VA and really nervous about losing that rating during the PEB process and IDES. I can tell you that I wrote the Med...

ArmyVetDeuce, thanks for the reply. I have some updated info that will hopefully help others. I believe the wording on my prior PTSD prognosis was in line with the verbiage that the PEB would use to reach a TDRL decision. I ended up pushing back on the verbiage through my PEBLO and she in turn...

will do, thanks!

Some good news to report. I just got a letter from the VA for my DoD percentage and that is 100%. Another question: I am a O-3 but hit my promotion date for O-4 earlier this year. I thought I read something that promotions are processed before retirement. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks in advance.

I definitely will!

Thank you

Thanks RonG, please see below: 1. Your high three for base pay is the total of the highest 36 months of base pay (usually the last three years) divided by 36. For just discussion purposes, but not an accurate representation, you could pick one month from each of the last three, add the three...

Hello Veterans, I am an Army O-3 currently in IRR and going through the MEB/PEB process. I have been rated by the VA at 100% for PTSD (combat related) since 2019. I have other ratings as well and receive SMC-K and SMC-S. I have two dependants and a total VA monthly payment of 3886.96. I just...
