Hello, I have read thread after thread trying to get a pinpoint answer but just can't.
My situation:
Medically discharged from AF in Feb 2020 and put on TDRL. Went through all of the VA rating during med board and started receiving VA Disability in May 2020. Recently had re-evaluation and the decision was made to remove me from TDRL and issue disability severance pay. I have a 100% Permanently and Totally disabled rating from the VA for a disability that is NOT the disability I am receiving severance pay for. I am receiving severance pay for a completely different disability that the DOD rated 10% and the VA rated 20%.
My question is..
If I am 100% P&T disabled for a separate disability, will the VA recoup my severance pay for the 10% DOD rated disability? If they can/do, would they take the whole monthly check or just the percentage that the DOD rated the disability?
Second note: I have a total of 7 disabilities through the VA that would equal 230% total. Obviously 100% is the highest. Just a side note of information if helpful to the thread. Thanks!
