In a pickle here. Got my rating back yesterday, 100% P&T VA, 20% Army.
I didnt know about ChampVA until today after talking to legal counsel. I had been planning an appeal since the narsum because I have severe radiculopathy and the Army said it met retention standards. The advantage being TriCare for life and being medically retired.
The severance at 20% would be awesome, pretty much a tax free personal loan while keeping the majority if my VA check for 3 years. That would help us a lot on our new farm and getting settled, but my worry was medical coverage for thw family too.
Can anyone advise on the ChampVA coverage vs tricare?
