I am an Army reservist. I just got my VA rating of 40%. 30 applies to unfit for military due to NARSUM. Should be a simple process from now on. How long do you think I have before the retirement pay and tri-care eligibility starts?
Per the DFAS: Congress allows DFAS to pay military members either a separation bonus or retirement pay for their period of service. If a member has received a separation payment, and then becomes eligible to receive retirement pay for the same period of service, he or she will be required to repay the separation pay before the full retirement benefit can be restored.I was given separation pay for being passed over 2 times. They have been recouping that payment by withholding my VA money. Will my medical retired pay be recouped as well until paid off?
You can call the Debt Management Center.Thanks for your time thus far. I am wondering how I can find out how much has been recouped
