Retirement Pay?

If anyone can help i'd appreciate it. My current situation is this. I just got my ratings back from the VA and I got a 30% rating total but also the Army gave me a 30% rating which allows me permanent medical retirement. I started my time enlisted and switched over to officer years later. I spent 5 years enlisted and 4 as an officer so I am now a CPT. My question is, when my retirement pay is calculated do they go by my pay as an officer or will they revert back to my enlisted time? Thats a significant difference in pay. I ask because I know that for an officer to retire as an officer they have to have served at least 8 years commissioned. I don't fit this category so i'd like to know if the MEB and medical retirement is an exception to this rule. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

You should retire with a CPT's pay. Please refer to 10 U.S. Code § 1372 - Grade on retirement for physical disability: members of armed forces

Also contact your retirement office in case of any new changes. Hope this helps

You'll receive 30% based on your high 36 month average.

This should help you calculate what to expect. Also, most likely you will be collecting pay through the VA in order to collect the higher amount and your rank does not affect your disability pay, it is only based off of your percentage.
