Thanks! Yeah its combat related. Finally got award letter. They sat my rating schedule at a later date for review. Hoping they don't take my 100. I'm 100 both dod an va. Took take that away would send me flipping.

So it only took them a month but my Va claim is done and according to ebenefits this is what it says from generating award letters.... Can anyone explain to me the difference between gross and net and why there is like a friggen 2 grand difference?? This coming Friday will be my first...
