    VA rating, Disablity Severance Pay and Taxes.

    I was in the military and got out after several years, I was given a 10% disability rating from the VA and have been getting a monthly check ever since. A number of years later I decided to join the reserves and I was permitted to do so even with the 10% rating. After serving in the reserves...

    Informal Board Findings

    The IPEB met and their finding were that I was unfit for duty and recommeded searation with severance pay. I have been assigned counsel and will most likely accept this finding without a formal hearing. Any thoughts or advise would be of interest to me. Thanks

    TIMELINE FOR MEB/PEB

    TIMELINE FOR MEB/PEB

    I can't explain the system but I can tell you that for the last 5 years period that will end 3/2012 for me, I have received 50% of what my retired pay would have been. Now they are going to stop paying me since they can only pay you on the TDRL for up to 5 years by law.
