I had my last appointment Nov 14 08. I was told it would take about 90 days. I actually called the va office the beginning of Feb to make sure my paperwork made it there and wasn't stuck anywhere. Anyway, I got my rating around 2 March. So it took about the 90 days they told me. Hope this...

It looks like I am going to lose about $150 after taxes from my retirement pay..not sure what I will actually get from the VA. I probably won't know until the beginning of next month. I'll keep everyone posted. :confused:

Thank you all for the information. It looks like after a year of worrying and waiting, that I made out okay after all. I am thrilled with my rating...I only expected about 40%. I should receive my full packet in the mail next week and I will get to see exactly what the breakdown is going to...

Thanks for the info. I'm still not sure what it all means...I guess I'm slow:). I'll have to wait and see what it all means. I hope I don't lose all my retirement pay...:confused:

Thank you Shamus for the info. That would be great. I'm thrilled with my rating, I'm just confused as to whether I will lose my retirement pay.

E-7 Active Duty

Hi, I have a question I hope someone can help me with. I was medically retired in December. I was in 21 years and I decided to take time in service retirement versus the 20% offered. I sent my claim to the VA and I received my rating back today. I was rated at 80% service connected...

I had an office job, but I was medically retired because I couldn't take a stateside assignment.

Good luck...I hope everything work out for you!

Thank you all. I appreciate your kind words. I will post when my job is firmed up. It's starting to look better than I thought...

I just wanted to post an update to my case. I signed and accepted my findings of permanent retirement w/20%. (I have been active duty for 21 years) I just received my retirement date. I will be officially retired from the Air Force on 6 December and I couldn't be more excited. I all ready...

Good luck!! I hope everything works out for you. I know you've been going through this for a while.

Okay. Thanks so much for your help. I hope to have a retirement date soon. I will post as I hear more. Wish me luck. :)

Nope, sure wasn't. Just bad knees (really bad knees)

I guess I'm confused. I have no idea what I'm going to get when I get out. Thanks for the help. I really do appreciate talking to others going through the process.
