Hello everyone, this my first post. I am currently awaiting Adjudication. I received the letter dated August 10 that is moving to that phase.
I have a question about the Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay Too. I fount this:
Under these rules, you may be entitled to CRDP if…
- you are a regular retiree with a VA disability rating of 50 percent or greater.
- you are a reserve retiree with 20 qualifying years of service, who has a VA disability rating of 50 percent or greater and who has reached retirement age. (In most cases the retirement age for reservists is 60, but certain reserve retirees may be eligible before they turn 60. If you are a member of the Ready Reserve, your retirement age can be reduced below age 60 by three months for each 90 days of active service you have performed during a fiscal year.)
- you are retired under Temporary Early Retirement Act (TERA) and have a VA disability rating of 50 percent or greater.
- you are a disability retiree who earned entitlement to retired pay under any provision of law other than solely by disability, and you have a VA disability rating of 50 percent or greater. You might become eligible for CRDP at the time you would have become eligible for retired pay.
Now my question is, does a person have to meet all criteria or at least one?
In my thought process, if you only have to meet one, anyone qualifying for the PDBR with at least 30% military and 50% VA would qualify. Having your PDBR approved would mean that you are entitled to retirement pay under provision of law, or am I wrong?
