I can't find the answer anywhere online so I hoping someone knows here.
Is your base amount for SBP based on you retirement pay for time in service only or the disability base for medical retirement pay if it is higher than your time in service. Here's an example.
If time in service is 22 years, the full SBP base would be 55% of high-3. If medically retiring and given a DoD rating of 100% then would the base move to 75% of high-3 pay since that's what you will be getting?
