I'm going through the PEB process now, currently my package is at the VA rating office but I anticipate a medical retirement recommendation. I have 12 years of service. I understand that eligibility for CDRP is only for personnel who've reached 20 years of service. I don't remember where I read it a few weeks ago, but the article/document I was reading stated that I could apply for CDRP when I would have hit 20 years of active service. i.e. in 8 years I could apply for CDRP. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this? Thanks in advance.
