I got my finding back last week and I am being medically retired. The documents say I get to set a date from 30 to 90 days from notification.
Do I need to take leave in order to get it to 90 days?
My 90 day point would be 1 NOV 17, would it be better to to make my last day 30 OCT 17 so I become eligible for VA pay 1 NOV and get a check by 1 DEC? Seems so but wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything.
I have 64 days of leave that I won't really need if I can set my out day at 90. Guessing it's best to get paid for that?
I know there's a lot of smart folks on here so please give me the best options.
