On terminal now and last week I signed my Survivor Benefits form for my wife. The CAR said that 80 percent DoD so my time in service and high three is 2900 a month but 80 percent Va is only 2281, which one do you get?

80 percent DoD and 80 percent VA
- Thread starter GreenRanger
- Start date
If you are under 20 years of service it should be whichever is more beneficial to you. And I may be wrong, but even with medical retirements, I believe the most we can get is still 75% retirement. Keep in mind the VA disability is tax free, so you will need to do the math with taxes and see which is better for take home pay
from what I read and heard I’ll get 2900, 2281 of it comes from the VA non-taxed. The $650 remainder comes from the DOD on a separate deposit.
80% for a Permanent and Total ? benefits for family ? am I reading this correctly?On terminal now and last week I signed my Survivor Benefits form for my wife. The CAR said that 80 percent DoD so my time in service and high three is 2900 a month but 80 percent Va is only 2281, which one do you get?
I got 80 DoD permanent retirement and 80 VA, in my case the 80 % DoD pays more than the 80 percent VA. I was wondering how offsets work80% for a Permanent and Total ? benefits for family ? am I reading this correctly?
For some reason I believe Permanent and Total can only be applied to 100% and it sounds to me like you are 100%I got 80 DoD permanent retirement and 80 VA, in my case the 80 % DoD pays more than the 80 percent VA. I was wondering how offsets work
Two different ratings, DoD and VA disability. I am rated at 80 percent for both. For DoD anything over 30 percent is considered medical retirement but the reason you get Va instead most of the
time is because your Va amount is more than the DoD amount. But in my case my DoD amount is far more than the VA
time is because your Va amount is more than the DoD amount. But in my case my DoD amount is far more than the VA

Your total will be 75% of your last 36 months since 75% is the max you can get in medical retirement. Your VA will come first so that ~$2281 will come from the VA and be tax free. Then the remainder to get to that 75% will come from DFAS and will be taxable income.
Based off your 80% DoD figure, i got ~$2718 as 75%. So your breakout is likely:
VA: ~$2,281
DFAS: ~ $437
Total: ~$2,718
