I’m Army National Guard, Grade O3, in non-drilling status, age 59. 75% DoD PDRL/100% VA. Just Signed DA 199 without appeal. The unfitting conditions are all combat related. I have 20 year letter. My 4,600 points equate to about 13 years of active duty. I come under Final Base Pay rather than High-Three.
Would appreciate some help trying to calculate my retired pay. It appears that I will be eligible for both DoD and VA pay under CRDP. If so, will I be paid by DoD at the 75% of base pay rate? Or, will my DoD pay be limited to what my length of service pay would have been even if I had not gone through the IDES? If so, it seems I will be paid at about 30% of base pay rather than 75%. In which case it would have been better to have just taken length of service retirement rather than spending 2 years going through the MEB/PEB.
