Hi,
I received a letter from DFAS stating it would refund the taxes paid for my Disability Severance Pay if taxes were paid. How do I find out if they taxed this? It was 2010 when I separated. When filing for this it wants me to include my DD214, Separation Orders, and the letter from the VA that starts with We made a decision...
I've got my DD214 and VA Letter, but the only separation orders I have been able to get are from the website milConnect: Benefits and Records for DoD Affiliates
These orders state that I'm being "released not by reason of physical disability." These orders are not the orders I used to get out of the Army. These orders were rescinded.
Note: I was supposed to get out in October 2009. My MEB was not complete until early 2010. I separated from the Army in April 2010. So, I got 3 sets of orders before it was all said and done.
Note: DD214- In section 28 "Narrative Reason for Separation" it states Disability, Severance Pay, Non-Combat Related.
So, any idea how to get the separation orders that I actually used? Should I even pursue this since my DD214 say Non-Combat Related? I'm against the clock because this letter was put in a stack of mail that I fortunately just found. Sadly, I have less than a month to get this done! Any information or guidance would be hugely appreciated.
