I know that I wont qualify for concurent payments. I have read that you can pick which one is higher VA or retired pay. I am wondering that if you pick the VA pay does that mean that you have to give up the retired ID card with all the associated benifits or are you getting money from the VA and still able to have tricare and access to the PX and such?
 
As long as the military has you at 30% or higher you will get your retired ID card, tricare, PX ect.
 
Unless you have over 20 good years or 20 active duty years. Then the Army can rate you at 0% and you still get the medical retirement benefits.

Does anyone know anything about a Med Ret. from the National Guard? I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis while on Title 10 (active duty) orders after a deployment. Is it 100% of base pay? MS is an automatic 100% from the VA.
