So I was medically retired on 28 July 2020. Navy Chief with 14 years (20 days shy of my 15 year mark). VA found me at 90% and the Navy found me at 70% - I am taking the VA Disability. Submitted my DD-214 in EBenefits and still waiting for the direct deposit...which should arrive in October I hope.
That being said, I keep receiving letters and emails from DFAS welcoming me to DOD retirement and telling me about "changes and adjustments to my retirement account statement (RAS)". I even received a letter in the mail that gave me an exact dollar amount for what the 70% would be. Now when I log into Mypay, the "RAS" option isn't even available within my login.
Also, I thought that, being under 20 years, I could not receive both VA disability and DOD retirement. Why am I getting these notifications from DFAS?
