All,
Posing a question to see what you think could happen in a theoretical situation:
Active Duty O4
22 Reserve 'SAT' years, of which 16 are active duty years
FBEB finds service member UNFIT
Unfitting condition(s) rated at 70%, and are COMBAT RELATED
Total VA disability 100%
Options:
1. Concur with board and CH 61 retire
2. Employ UNIFT finding to apply and be approved for TERA.
Question: IF service-member elects option (2), does he retain the 70% Military Service disability % when retired under TERA?
*Since the FPEB military service disability has to 'mirror' the VA% if retired under CH 61, I am trying to decide WHICH option (1 or 2) would be the best outcome of benefits. Assumption is also that combat related unfitting conditions would be approved for CRSC.
Any thoughts from the forum on which option would be the best road to go down?
