E7 rated at 80 disability/75 percent for pay. Years of service is 24 or 60 percent.

100 percent VA and IU awarded plus receiving SMC.

Since I am being paid at the higher rate military retirement of 75 percent But my length of service retirement should have been 60 percent what can I expect from the VA as an offset?

I received a letter from the VA that says my monthly amount is $3255.00

BUT...........

What can I really expect from the VA?

I have read anything over the 60 percent I received in disability payments from the military (75 percent) has to be adjusted.

Can anyone explain?
 
When all is said and done, you should get an amount equal to all of your VA plus an amount equal to your LOS retirement amount.

Sir, received my letter from Dfas today. This is how it work for me.
Gross military, 3467 minus VA waiver 684 equals 2783 all taxed.

VA compensation, 2571 not taxed.

The 3467 was based upon high 3 at 75 percent disability

Because VA compensation can NOT exceed you base pay WOULD have been by means of lenght of service retirement that is why my military retirement was reduced by 684 to 2783.

My VA compensation was reduced from 3255 to 2571 because you can not collect more than what your lenght of service would have been, 2783 in this case
 
Not sure if my last statement is right?

It looks like to me they took the 684 from my army retirement
Pay which came from the 3255 va award which caused the VA award to be reduced to 2571
