I haven't received any word yet on my case, but here is some information from my separation: 10% for back 10% for COPD military side; VA side 40% for back 0% for COPD. I received severance pay from the Navy but didn't have to pay it back as long as my rating from the VA for COPD stayed at 0% since that was stated as my primary disability when I was discharged. I was told by a VA rep that I would NEVER have to pay it back as long as my disability for COPD stayed at 0%, once that changes I will have to repay according to the percentage rated at through VA only. So...I have NEVER filed to have my COPD re-evaluated...
