Agree with @Provis battle buddy, you don’t need to worry about those calculations because they will be waived in order for you to receive your tax free VA compensation. My comment you refer to is for a service member that has 20 or more years of active federal service, and qualify for two types...

1.) Your retirement is a disability retirement. (According to your DD214) 2.) Your pay will be calculated at 75%, however it will be reduced to your 50% longevity amount. Due to CRDP eligible. 3.) If combat related your DoD pension will not be taxable. 4.) You are 100% eligible for CRDP. That...

As far as Army goes TERA was terminated 28FEB2018. The authority to use it goes through 2025, however current conditions for force shaping are not applicable at this time. Not sure about the other branches.

Your civilian documentation of treatment will be accepted and used in your ratings. They will still schedule a C&P exam for your mental health conditions. Bring copies of all your treatment records to that C&P exam. They will go over it and upload all documentation into the VA system as well as...

Your proposed VA rating can be thrown in the garbage if approved for LAS. If approved you will carry out your remaining year and a half until you hit your 20 years of AFS. At 6 months out you will have the, “option,” to go through IDES again for any conditions that you feel may have worsened...

@GhostFace is right. You don’t get anything for your 19 years because it is waived dollar for dollar in order to receive VA compensation. The only way to restore your DoD pension pay for your 19 years of service is if you apply for CRSC after retirement. Even with CRSC it isn’t guaranteed that...

Your post is confusing. If you’re receiving your VA compensation that means you have signed to have the waiver in place. Once CRSC is approved it will then populate on your RAS. CRSC will restore a certain approved amount of your retirement pay that was lost due to having the VA waiver in place.

Apply for all conditions. As long as you have evidence and records for your conditions, let your branch of service decide. Don’t downplay your disabilities that YOU think won’t qualify for CRSC. Good luck battle buddy!

Got it, thanks for sharing. Just curious because the VA website doesn’t really mention much about the conditions you mentioned as being qualifying conditions, unless I missed it.

@Thankful Did you or did your wife have to apply to be your caregiver? If you don’t mind me asking what condition/conditions qualify you for the VA aid and assistance caregiver program?

Without official legislation not much can be said. However, I do know that you will get your DoD percentage calculated at 75%, but then it will be reduced to whatever your longevity pay would be based on your YOS before your disability retirement.

I believe this is addressed in AR 635-40, Chapter 4-27. I know on DFAS website it’s states that if you are over 20 AFS and rated below 30% that retirement will be required regardless. I would imagine because you are considered unfit but do not meet the threshold to qualify for disability...

Seems pretty cut and dry. The board made the correct decision based on little to no evidence that said incidents happened, and that those said incidents affected your ability to successfully perform your duties. You should feel fortunate the VA rated you at 100 percent as well as receive SSDI...

And these conditions you believe are due to your 2 years of service? Or were these conditions prior to you enlisting?

How long have you been in?

Your DoD would be tax free if your unfit condition was deemed combat related on you DA199. 20 year AD disability retirement pretty much maxes out everything. CRSC is a tax free as well, but in your case would only be more beneficial than CRDP if you received a 100% CRSC rating. As a disability...

I can agree with both @Provis and @chaplaincharlie. It’s better to fight for something and lose than to not fight at all. From my understanding of the original post a big factor is attaining 30 YOS, assuming for retirement purposes. In regulation it states a SM will not be retained IOT increase...

The problem is they are going off of AR 40-501. When it comes to retention standards especially those of the heart it is difficult to be found FFD, regardless of what other doctors say or recommend or your time in service. Civilian doctors don’t know the regulations. Although at times it can be...

Everyone’s medical situation is different and goes through different channels. If your PEBLO says it’s awaiting signatures then it’s awaiting signatures. Standby to standby.

I wanna say the GOMOR is the punishment. Especially if it’s filed permanently. They could’ve chaptered you but did not. Since the GOMOR was issued and filed permanently I believe a QMP board would then be able to recommend you for separation.
