This happened to me as well. The day after I hit 6 months post-separation, it popped up for my PTSD (RFE). Not sure if it is the same one for you. Apparently they have to do that one by law, even though I am 100% P&T. Would be nice to know if this is the process for all future exams though.

This was a virtual appointment with a VA Dr. Should I request a meeting with them?

Good evening, Entered TDRL end of July last year, and was notified of PTSD re-evaluation (showed up on the VA app 1 Feb) 15 Feb: I had my PTSD re-evaluation today (which was expected at this point), but before my exam, I reviewed my VA Blue Button report to make sure everything was in there...

Just reaching out to folks in here to see if I am going to have an issue qualifying for VR&E with a 100% rated MH condition. The box for total occupational and social impairment is checked. Is this an immediate disqualification if I want to go back to school to qualify for something in the...

Thanks for the info. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. So much out there we are expected to just find out ourselves. We are lucky to have you.

Good morning, I was reviewing my TDRL order and I never noticed the 10 USC 12733 being over 15 years. Is this able to be used to apply/qualify for TERA? Figure it is a long shot, but I appreciate your help in answering this. The following is a snippet from the top portion of my TDRL order...

I was lucky enough to lock in yeah I was lucky enough to snag a couple mil in term before the heart attack.

Provis, This is really good advice and I did look into this before I got out. Unfortunately, I am practically uninsurable due to chronic heart failure. Too many people just take the SBP without researching, and it really is pricey.

Also, does the SBP payment change any of the calc?

Thanks for the quick breakdown. Still in shock and feels undeserved, but I’ll eventually get over the guilt and realize how great it is for my family.

Just trying to see if I did this correctly. Factors: --7650 H-3 --14 yrs mo = 14 --14 x 2.5% = 35% --7650 x 0.35 = $ 2677 longevity portion of retirement --7650 x 75% = 5737.5 ret pay--$4781.16 waived via VA offset (SMC-S/K) --100% VA w/spouse & 2 c = $4781.16 --CRSC (estimated) 60% =...

I just checked the app and it says “We are prepping your ratings decision packet to be mailed.” Still doesn’t show the percentage or copy of the letter they are mailing.

I was retired at 100% (DoD only pays ups to 75% though) and VA P&T.

My VA app says the same thing. Medically retired on 30 July.

Thanks for the replies and insight, unfortunately I had already signed up for the SBP when I was on my way out. I believe there is a chance to change it at the 2 year mark, so may have to reconsider at that time. Additionally, I am currently uninsurable, at least at a decent rate do to...

Please advise. Please see pay below. Ch 61 pay: $5,767 VA offset: $4631 My question is, will SBP payment be based off of 6.5% the original $5,767, or based off the the remaining pay after VA offset ($5,767 - $4631 = $1136). Would my SBP be $5,767 x 0.065 = $374.85 or Would my SBP be $1136...

So my estimation letter says SMC-S1, but I’m wondering if this is correct since my letter also states the following: “For the purposes of entitlement to department of veterans affairs (va) benefits, it is proposed to grant entitlement to special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance...

DoD and VA both took care of me. Can’t say I’m happy with how I feel mentally and physically, but I’m grateful my family has benefits/opportunities that came out of an unfortunate situation.

Is TDRL percentage calculated based off average high 36, or current basic pay?
