I went from TDRL to PDRL in Aug, I’m not receiving any retirement pay as I’ve waived it for VA.
Disability percentage is $3103 method A
Service $1750 method B (16.92 yrs)
100% T&P VA ($3462)
70% CRSC approved rating
Could you please help me understand the calculations?

Not all the necessary info is presented, but I might be able to back into it
1. 16.9 years x 2.5% = 42.25 of X
2. Service 1750/0.4225 = ~4142 ave of high 3 base pay
3. Proof: 4142 x 42.25% = 1750 longevity portion of retirement
4. CRSC @ 70% vet alone $1365; with spouse $1481 (dependents not mentioned)
5. I suspect you will choose the higher rate of A, $3103. All of that will be waived due to $3462 VA comp; no residual retired pay.
6. You will be entitled to the lesser of item 3 dollar amount of longevity portion of retired pay OR dollar amount of CRSC rate approved by service which mirrors the same rate in the VA comp tables, item 4.
7. Your CRSC, based on limited info provided by you will be: CRSC @ 70% vet alone $1365; with spouse $1481 (dependents not mentioned) OR any other CRSC rate @70% that is less than $1750. If your CRSC rate happens to be more than $1750, then you would receive $1750.
