Sure...up...the white search bar. Haha, I'm just kidding. Not sure what your questions are but you should take a look at this original post from Jason: http://www.pebforum.com/f63/combat-related-special-compensation-crsc-slides-6580/ If you still have questions, there are plenty of people...

Am I reading this right? Are you saying that you would rather get a rating under 30% for the purpose of getting severance pay and NOTHING else (well, except VA) vs. a rating over 30%, a check the rest of your life, and eligibility to Tricare for the rest of your life? Sure, a lump sum of money...

Unfortunately VA math isn't 1+1=2. Combining ratings is a little different than just adding them. Say you get 50% for PTSD, that leaves you at 50% able. Then say you get 50% for sleep apnea. Factoring that into to what's remaining gives you 25%. So for combining ratings, 50% + 50% = 75%...

Ok so I understand why the bottom limit for compensation is 50%. If someone has 30-40% they get bumped up while on TDRL and it helps them out financially. But would anyone care to explain the 75% cap? If someone (such as myself) is given more than 75% rating, why can't they recieve everything...

EDIT: I'm removing this due to incorrect information. Don't want anyone getting bad info. Read on...

Having 20 years means you can get compensation from both DOD and VA (concurrent receipt). Someone with less than 20 years would have to basically choose one or the other. Using you're example of 70%, you would get 70% service retirement vs. the 57.5% (as you stated you would get with just...
