I have a question I am in a similar situation as you are you getting Reserve Base pay or active duty base pay for your disability retired ? If you don't mind me asking approximate how much do you get? thank you
The way it works is you have to be medically retired, meaning that the military (separate from the VA) rates your Unfitting Conditions at 30% or higher, if not you will be medically separated and get a one time lump sum check, with no military benefits afterwards, but your VA rating and benefits are separate and continue.
OK, so you're medically retired from the reserves. Your total reserve points acquired are divided by 360, and that is used in place of the YEARS IN SERVICE for the calculation of what your military retirement pay will be.
At that point, at least in my case, I am paid the majority of my funds from the VA side, and the military covers down what they owe, MINUS what's already been paid by the VA. If your disability are Combat Related, meaning directly from combat, or an instrument of war, or hazardous duty such as Airborne jumps, but NOT just because you were deployed, then you can apply for CRSC Combat Related Special Compensation, and that is some extra on top of the other funds, paid by the military.
There's a useful calculation on the DFAS website, here's the link...

You can enter the calculated TIS and ratings applicable to you. Keep in mind that the ratings are NOT just one added to the other, the way the VA works it, if you are 50% disabled for one rating, your next rating is calculated as if you are ONLY 50% of a fit human, and so on, the law of diminishing returns VA style.
Here's the link to calculate multiple ratings...

Good luck, hope this helps...
