Okay will try to keep short....
50 yrs old, over 20 yrs but haven't received letter 14yrs reserves 6+ active duty, rank 03
Rating DOD 0% but unfit, VA 100% offering severance of 19 yrs. My zero percent has V4 code.
JAG says appeal because VA gave me 30% for PTSD/MDD. I originally went for hip injury, I wasn't afforded the opportunity to put other conditions as most people were able to do.
My question is since VA said zero percent is the severance still considered non taxable. There is a sentence saying in the documents that concern me which states "you may qualify for a tax break if you are awarded a VA disability rating for the same condition that resulted in your medical discharge". So is zero considered a percentage?
Thanks for your help.
