First off - just want to say thanks for everyone’s help here on the forum. I found you guys in the early stages of my MEB and it’s been very beneficial . So, thanks everyone.
Couple of questions.
I’m TDRL at 70%DoD and 80%VA. Recently I’ve been awarded 70%CRSC.
I am (thankfully) currently employed but without the current benefits I receive, I’d be tough to make ends meet.
I’m at 13 months of TDRL and I am certain my ratings will change at some point during the 36 month period.
I try not to be negative, but can’t help but think at that point, my DoD will drop at 20% and will loose retirement pay/TRICARE/CRSC pay.
Why do I feel that way?
Other than the feeling of getting screwed is inevitable, but I also fear (what if?) my medical notes will be interpreted that I’m getting better and now stable.
So I did some playing around with the CRSC calculator at DFAS and noted a few things at change:
1- If my DoD only changes, but stays at 30% or above, my pay stays exactly the same due to the CRSC offset at 70%. I’m sure this isn’t a glitch, but if this is accurate - does anyone know the source that explains this in writing?
2- Can my CRSC percent chance? If so, how (and source).
3- My CRSC is at 70%. Did the CRSC board apply my rating by the DoD or VA percentages? (PTSD 70%DoD & 70% VA)
Thanks for any help.
