Am I eligible for both VA and DoD pay?

hey everyone, I just got the ratings back from my MEB this week. I’m at 70% DoD and 100% VA compensation. I will be medically retired after 14 years of active duty service. I’m wondering if I’ll be eligible for a percentage of the DoD retirement pay given the circumstances. I’ve read a lot of threads stating that the DoD pay will be offset from the VA compensation, and I’m having a hard time understanding what that means. I had a financial advisor on base last year tell me that if I qualify for a medical retirement, I get payment from both DoD and VA. Is this true? Any help is greatly appreciated!
 
No you have to do 20 years or more and have a 50 percent VA rating to qualify for concurrent receipt. Both of these must be true to get concurrent receipt.

If you believe you qualify for CRSC you can apply for that once you are retired and get back a portion of your DOD pay up to your longevity percentage.

Iam, When you say you have to do 20 years or more, is that only defined as 20 years or more of Active Duty, or does that also apply to 20 years or more Active Duty and/or Reserve Duty? I am 60% VA and 30% medically retired, Army.. I have over 23 yrs of service and that is Reserve Duty and Active Duty total. Thanks!

Did you get a 20 year letter / accumulate enough points that in addition to your active time equates to 20 years? I’m not a reservist expert at all so someone else is probably going to chime in.

To qualify for a 20-year active duty retirement, you would need 7,200 points as this translates to 20 years of service (For USAR)

I did get a 20 year letter. Now I'm looking for my documents to find my points as well

JRod, I haven't found a DA Form 5016, but I found a previous ARPC Form 249-E of mine that shows 21 00 00 years of service qualifying for retirement and creditable points of 2612. This was not the final, as I had an additional 2 years and 2 1/2 months of active duty time before being medically retired. But I did receive a copy of my 20 year letter.
