Hi all,
I need some help with this one. I have a question when it comes to the VA waiver and my compensation. So recently, I got my DA 199, which came back 90% DOD and 100% VA TDRL. I've calculated my DoD retirement pay based on my disability rating (capped at 75%) to be $5625. My VA compensation is around $3650. From my understanding, the VA waiver means that the VA compensation will be taken from the DOD retirement dollar-for-dollar. So my thinking is that I would be left with around $1975 of my DOD retirement that will be paid to me. However, I was recently told by my PEBLO that it's one or the other no matter the difference. If I receive VA compensation, I can't receive any portion of my DOD retirement. I have 12 years in the Army, so CDRP do not apply and for argument's sake lets say CRSC does not apply.
Thanks!
