Hi,
I've posted a bunch on here before. I just signed my 199. 60 percent DoD, 90 percent Army. No combat code (I'm medical so I wasn't directly in combat). I have 4400 retirement points. I just had my legal liason call prior to signing my 199.
He's telling me that I will only receive 60 percent of my high-3 until I reach 60 years old (or 57 and change due to deployments). He says I will receive NO VA benefits until 60, but will then get concurrent receipt.
I'm ok with the above I think, but is it correct? If DoD gave me 60 percent, should I receive 30 percent from VA since that's above and beyond DoD? Also, It seems a little strange that I get zero tax benefit if I don't receive VA
Note: I'm an O-4, so 60 percent of my high 3 is more than my VA benefit. Hoping for clarification. Regardless, I'm glad to almost be through this process. Thanks for any input.
One thing I am a little worried about is my VA debt payment since I was drilling since my initial ratings. I currently owe about 4k, but this will increase once all works out bc I'm sure I'll continue to receive VA for a couple months once I'm retired die to slow processing times once ice notified the VA. It's fine, but if I'm not getting VA benefits, they can t just deduct from my monthly VA. Don't really want to write them a check....
