Went to MyPay and got a new "changed RAS" (Retiree Account Statement).
Here are the figures - I see no change in the total amount - so does anything else happen later? Like any backpay or anything? Or, am I limited by the gross total and this is just a bookkeeping thing where the grand total remains the same, they just adjust the numbers in the colomns.
Background: Retired APR 2012 - Chapter 61 - 70% Army - 100% P&T from the get go
Was due CRDP at time of Chapter 61 discharge (APR 2012), but didn't get until now - 6 years later.
NG with 20-year letter and finally got a verified 4 years of early age drop. Since I was age 56 3/4 at time of retirement, I was due CRDP at time of retirement in APR 2012.
I came under the "final pay" system with a little more than 13 years AD time (E-7 with 26 yrs. for pay in 2012). I just checked my HRC records and found a new additional bunch of points someone had found during this CRDP process, so I have about 13 years worth of points.
Here is what DFAS sent me thru MyPay via the changed RAS. The figures below are what I got this month (May) and what I will receive next month (June)
MAY GROSS 3618.00
JUN GROSS 3618.00
MAY VA WAIVER 2973.86
JUN VA WAIVER 2011.00
MAY TAXABLE INCOME 644.14
JUN TAXABLE INCOME 1607.00
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAS IT SAYS: Based on the compensation amount you receive from the Department of Veterans Affairs and your retired pay, your concurrent retirement disability pay (CRDP) amount is 963.86.
So basically, I'm wondering why my GROSS didn't change? Why did my tax-free VA monthly go DOWN by the same amount as the INCREASE in my taxable military retirement pay?
Is there anything I'm missing here?
