Looking for some help please. I am a retired E7, 20 years active, retired in 2000. I am also 100% T&P VA. Currently a DoD civilian with 23+ years and looking to retire in the next 18 months or less. 62 in OCT. I have been approved CRSC at 70% which is about $500 less than my retirement pay. If I accept it, can I buy back my 20 years and add it to my civilian retirement to give me 43+ years as a DoD civilian? If I do buy back, is there any items that will cause issues? I also have a reconsideration CRSC request in due to being diagnosed in April with CLL Leukemia & being issued hearing aids in July. Thank you.

If you are in over 20 years as a reservist or guard member and are medically retired. Do you start to receive your retirement pay right away? Im so confused about this process and i really cant understand anything these days. I have had a dew TBIs that are causing me some frustrations. When people try and explain it really causes me to shut down. I dont want to get the shaft because i dont have the tolerance or patients and just end up saying do whatever you want just leave me alone. Ive tried to read some of these posts on similar questions but my head starts swimming. Im not yet age retirement eligible …so will i just recieve disability when they med retire me or both right away? Thx

Hi there,
I just received my CRSC award letter and was in the process of trying to calculate the numbers for myself when I checked mypay website and found a CRSC Pay statement. The statement says that my CRSC Net Pay is $431. My question is, is "Net Pay" the amount I can now expect to receive monthly in addition to my VA disability? Do they usually calculate these with high accuracy? Based on the calculator I was using I thought it would be less.
As always, appreciate your time and guidance on the forum!

Thank you. I thought it was erroneously stated, but military finance is far from my expertise.

“Military Disability Retirement Pay shouldn't be included in taxable income if your disability or injury was caused by combat or if you get military disability instead of VA disability for your injuries.”

Is this a true statement?

Hi Dan,

I just posted the new update to DODI 1332.18 and explained why it is important for PEB Forum members to review this document. However, I could not find a place to post it under the Resources section- can you do so? Thanks! v/r

PS. I shared a copy of it with Jason Perry last week but know that he has not had a chance to share it yet

In a post you wrote

“Another factor is to know if your chapter 61 pension is exempt from Federal Income Taxes”


Can you state this in different words?

Hello,
I am new to the forum and was looking gor for contact info of attorneys that might be able to help me with my claim.
Ron suggested that I reach out to you to see if you had any you could recommend. I am in Northwest Indiana.

Thank you for your time and consideration of a fellow veterans need.

I was med boarded out in 2003 with a zero % rating. I may or may not need a board of corrections as I just discovered that my second LOD injury (MVA) was never recorded. I am now rated 100% P&T for PTSD through the VA.

I'm not even sure any of this pursuit is worth it, but it has always bothered me that I lost my career. I only found out that I even had a rating in 2015 when they cut my insurance at work, and I needed to see a doctor because my old military injuries were becoming unbearable, so I looked to the VA for support. I then found my 0percent rating was mailed to the wrong address. I now have secondary issues I have had rejected by the VA.

Please forgive the digression. I sure could use some professional help with my claim.

With Appreciation,
-Alfredo
