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?
 
VA rates you for everything, DOD only rates you for unfitting conditions. 70/80 sounds good, even better if it’s PDRL.
 
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

You also will be paid your VA comp.

This might be of interest to you LINK to CRSC info. <---
