    DFAS Retirement Backpay Questions

    I declined SBP. It will show in your very first DFAS statement, but the in the next DFAS statement SBP will be removed. I also spoke to the guy handling the PDBR's. He explained how the backpay/severance works. I was looking at the severance pay wrong when I calculated. Should have been...

    From what I can tell on my DFAS statements, if it was your actual monthly retirement it would have your VA offset. Your statement leads me to believe it’s for some sort of back pay.

    Not sure of your current situation with the extra pay. Do you get CRSC? Does your DFAS statement show your VA offset pay? Mine specifically shows my DFAS retired pay then it show the VA offset then the total amount I will get from DFAS. Currently my DFAS retirement is much more then my VA...

    Question for people in this thread who have received backpay from DFAS: Just received my statements from DFAS regarding the backpay I received this week. They withheld way to much "VA Waiver" money. I have never received anything close to this amount from the VA. It looks like they with...

    Wanted to post a quick update. Received DFAS retirement pay statements on Monday. Also received backpay deposited on Monday and Tuesday. I have had no contact (phone/USPS/email) with DFAS to explain how the backpay was calculated. Called today and the tier 2 tech could not help me. I guess...

    Back pay for medical related expenses

    I contacted Tricare regarding this and have recently been medically retired under the PDBR. Tricare stated to fill out a DD Form 2652, include a letter explaining what to be reimbursed with the history of the payments/charges. I don't have any medical bills so this will only be the premiums I...
