1. Members retired for disability under 10 U.S.C., Chapter 61 with 20 or more years of creditable service computed under section 10 U.S.C. § 1208 will have the maximum CRSC payment restricted to the amount, which when combined with any remaining retired pay after VA offset, will not exceed the applicable retired pay to which the member would otherwise have been entitled under any other provisions of law. A retiree who accepted the Career Status Bonus will have the reduced amount calculated based on retired pay that would otherwise have been computed under 10 U.S.C. § 1409(b)(2).I have more than 20 years

Note: 10 USC 1208 pertains to retirees of the regular component (i.e., not reserve or NG).
A member of the armed forces who is not a member of a regular component shall be credited, for the purposes of the chapter. quoted above, with the number of years of service that he would count if he were computing his years of service under section 12733.
Section 12733 for reserves and NG: “For the purpose of computing the retired pay of a person under this chapter, the person’s years of service and any fraction of such a year are computed by dividing 360...points...”
You can request an audit of your pay by sending a signed request to:
Defense Finance and Accounting Service
U.S. Military Retired Pay
8899 E 56th Street
Indianapolis, IN 46249-1200
Comment: As you probably know, 20 good years in the reserves (and having the letter of eligibility) qualifies an individual for reserve retirement upon reaching the age requirement. It is not necessarily the same as the equivalent of having 20 years AD, which involves a computation using a division of total points divided by 360 (for reservists).
