    VA claim not filed by me

    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.

    CRSC Estimate Request for a CH61 retiree

    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.

    CH 61, VA offset, and

    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...
