So that’s the end of that. Got my retro pay populated 7 May and should be getting my first check for the normal monthly amount 1 June.

You are correct the only thing that could possibly help in your case would be if higher than 30% then you are medically retired. Has its own set of perks and if any of your conditions are combat related they may qualify for CRSC which would help clawback any of the offset that you will have with...

If it is rated by the VA as a service connected condition and is listed on your code sheet as Gulf War then it’s possible. I have it on mine as a 0% rating and CRSC approved me for it at 0% for Instrumentality of War.

Meant to also say at least in my case it was 131 days from when my submission was accepted to when it was approved.

Will do and thinking it is taking awhile due to number of things I claimed. Should have kept it simple since it is capped by the longevity portion. Kinda just threw what I had at the wall to see what sticks.

Figured I would post my timeline so others can see it. 11/26/2025 Mailed in packet 11/28/2025 Confirmation packet received 01/27/2026 60 day working email 03/27/2026 Called to check status and all I could be told is still in processing. Hopefully not too much longer as mine should have been a...

Just wanted to know if anyone can look at this and help me make sense of it. My PEBLO office had no clue and just said that this was the last document from them. See below for my actual service timeframe. 20 years total service. PEBD: 20050128 BASD: 20110803 (deployments and AGR time.) Not...

Finally done and starting leave tomorrow. Funny thing is I signed my 199 on the 30th and then radio silence and then by chance reached up to the retirement NCO at my state headquarters and he apologized for not contacting me and said that my final date is 28 August and based on the amount of...

Isn’t her job to be a liaison?? Telling you not to contact her again is not acceptable. I would file an ICE complaint.

How much leave do you have to cut into that 120?

I called mine weekly and you could tell by her tone that she wasn’t even looking into my file. I pushed harder and she looked and said “oh, your results are back now.”

Mine sat from Jan 28th thru March 11th before getting the final vote and moving to the VA. So this is not super uncommon.

Traditionally at 17 years active duty she would only qualify for the gray area retirement as she did not complete 20 years of AFS. What she can look into if she is eligible is CRSC which can offset the loss of immediate retirement pay and can gain back some of that lost pay. It is not a...

So two ways this works out. You have a rater who pushes back on the examiner for more information as it contradicts medical documents or just gives a straight denial on the VA side. The DOD can still assign a rating on their end as long as it’s a referred condition. I had the same happen with my...
