Attached is my VA letter. I was medically retired on Dec 6th 2019 and haven’t received pay yet. My question is how much should I be expecting with my first check? Will it be pack paid from Dec 7th? Should I be expecting payment on the first of feb? Any help would be appreciated. Oh and what does P&T really mean. I was told that it means my rating can’t be lowered is this true?
