Hello
@jeffb ,
You mentioned: "I believe my final pay was 3094 a month in 2014 with 12 years and 10 months in . No rank change for the last 7 years of my naval career. TDRL at time of release was 70 percent and VA was 100 percent. After 5 years TDRL was changed to PDRL 50 percent . VA is still 100 percent."
Here is an estimate based on the limited info you provided.
1. High three average base pay was not provided; however, final pay was 3094. Final pay is used only in cases where the member entered the service prior to September 8, 1980.
The
3094 you provided will be used here. VA comp @ 100% with spouse & 2 children under 18: 3,406.04 +86.05 =
3492.09. DoD disability rating =
50%.
Active duty years: 12 years, 10 months =
12.83 AD years.
2. 3094 x 50% =
1547 retired pay using your figure. This does not use high three nor does it include COLA increases since you retired. If you look on DFAS MyPay, you will find at least one DFAS RAS for each year when there was a COLA increase. The gross pay on the last RAS (probably December 2019) divided by your disability (50% DoD) = current high three base pay including COLA increases.
3. Retired pay 1547 minus 3492.09 = zero retired pay remaining
4. 12.83
Active Duty years x 2.5% = 32.08% longevity multiplier
5. 3094 final pay (should be high three) x 32.08% = 992.56 longevity portion of retired pay
6. Your CRSC using the info above would be the
LESSER (lower amount) of either:
--the longevity portion of retired pay which is 992.56 in this computation
OR
--The amount found in the VA compensation tables that is associated with the CRSC percentage approved by your service.
This estimate shows what the current CRSC would be if the info provided is accurate, including the average high three for base pay.
Regards,
Ron
