Thank you for the information.
You have less than 20 years active duty; the REDUX multiplier does not apply to the REDUX retirement plan
at under 20 years of service since REDUX is only an active duty retirement plan. You are correct in that you are not eligible for CRDP based on the info you provided.
If your disability is found to be permanent and is rated at 30 percent or greater, or you have 20 or more years of service, you will be placed on the Permanent Disability Retired List (PDRL).
Your retired pay will be computed using one of two methods.
- Your disability percentage, referred to as Method A.
- Your years of active service, referred to as Method B.
Your pay will be computed based on whichever method is more beneficial for you.
Method A for you based on info you provided: Average of highest 36 months of base pay x 40% = gross disability pay
Method B for you based on info you provided: Average of highest 36 months of base pay x 41.25% = gross retired pay*
*16.5 years x 2.5% = 41.25 %
Your gross retired pay will be reduced by the amount of VA compensation received. If you had CRSC approved, some of the "reduced" retired pay could be replaced.
