I am having issues understanding the difference in these ratings and trying to determine what my monthly pay will be. I have been rated 70% by the DOD and 80% by the VA. I have been placed on the TDRL. Will I be paid a lump sum by the DOD and monthly by VA? How does this all work?
It’s TDRL. But from my understanding the DoD will be the ones paying me to begin with? How can I find out what that will look like? I’ve only got 2 years of AD service. So I’m confused on how I’m suppose to know kinda what to expect.
Your DoD disability retired pay will be:
Average high three for base pay x 70% = disability retired pay
The disability retired pay will be reduced by the amount of VA compensation.
Example using random amounts: retired pay 3015 minus 3000 VA comp amount = 15 you keep
