Quick backstory. 16 years active duty, will be placed on the TDRL on 14 June 2021, 90% combined DOD and 100% VA. 70% of the DOD is confirmed to be as a direct result of combat, noted on my orders and cannot be reduced.
I was informed that my retirement and disability pay will be offset. Does anybody know of any way to fight for that not to be considering my career was involuntary cut short? If I’m not mistaken you have to have 20 years to be eligible for the CRDP. It’s pretty messed up for someone in the last stage of their career to basically loose their retirement pay due to this.
I am aware of the CRSC and plan to apply but from what I read the max payment for that would still be short of my retired pay. Has anyone reached out to any Congressmen? I’m married with 2 kids and will require at least 3 surgeries in the near future which will make it incredibly difficult to provide for my family. The thought of this has made my depression come back tenfold. Any info is greatly appreciated.
