Hope all of you are doing great. A little background:

Traditional AF Reservist, medically retired PEB rating 70%. Also an Air Force civil service employee, not an ART.
Filed with the AFBCMR after retirement for MEDCON orders during lengthy MEB/PEB process.
During most of MEP/PEB, I used civilian Sick Leave (SL), Annual Leave (AL), Military Leave (ML) and LWOP from my civil service job.
BCMR ruled in my favor and granted one year and 3 months and change of MEDCON orders.
Case forwarded to DFAS.
Received money from DFAS, but all my civilian earnings were deducted from my awarded entitlements.

In the past, anytime I performed military duty I used AL, ML OR LWOP, but no pay was ever garnished because I was on military orders. So confused.

Appreciate any inputs. Thanks
 
Not an answer to your question, but curious if you would share the timeline for DFAS's review and eventual payout? I'm going on 5 months since I submitted the requested documents. FWIW, I was able to utilize a GAO rule that permits outside wages to not be considered for offset under the "moonlighting clause" as I was able to prove that I had the employment before the lengthy set of ANG orders in the center of the BCMR/MEB/DES process. As a result, no offsets and I was actually able to petition DFAS to carry-forward my leave while on MEDCON orders to go through the DES. Things worked out pretty well for me but I'm not out of the woods yet.
