The VA faxed me my ratings a few weeks ago. 90 VA, 80 AF. 90 VA with a child i believe is like 1700. My AF pay is maxed at 75% because even if its still above 75%, the rate of pay is 75%

The way I calculated the average of my high 3 is 2902*.75= 2176.50

So, should I take the DOD pay? Or once taxes are withheld from the DOD pay it will come out the same anyway?

Once I see the VA rep I am planning on applying for TDIU which will pay at the 100 percent rate. However, that hasnt been approved yet nor do I know if I will actually get it.

I do qualify for CRSC due to one of my unfitting conditions being PTSD (70%)

What should I do?

p.s. I am still waiting on the AF to officially send me their rating but it should be 80%...
 
what should happen is that you get the 2176 from the AF but 1700 will be tax free. i am thinking that you qualify for CRSC for about 654/ month

CRSC amount is factored, in part, upon how many years and months you have of AD service (LOS).

And, if your military percentage was designated "combat or combat-related".

You have to apply to your branch of service for CRSC - it is NOT automatic.

Someone posted a CRSC calculator on this web site.

Have you done a search?

Are you expecting AF to retire you or severance pay? If you will be medically retired at 75% of your base pay, then that is fixed. and then your VA compensation with 1 dependant is another fixed amount.

I provided a link to help you out. These are from Chapter Five.

To qualify for CRSC, a member must be retired for longevity, (or be medically retired with any number of years of service) and have a disability that is directly combat-related (i.e. a disability that is service-connected but not combat-related would not qualify).

To qualify for CRDP, a member must have a VA disability rating of at least 50 percent and retired for longevity and be receiving retired pay or have a Chapter 61 disability retirement with at least 20 years of service.

I believe certain disability retired SMs may be entitled to apply (qualified to apply) for CRSC if you also are given either a combat or a combat-related designation, too.

Please see and read (FEB 2012) the DFAS website below for all the qualifying requirements:

Your both really saying the same thing...

"and have a disability that is directly combat-related"

"if you also are given either a combat or a combat-related designation" :D

The key word is combat or combat related, a disability that is service-connected but not combat-related would not qualify :cool:
