First of all, sorry. I'm sure this has been discussed 1000 times, but I'm still having a hard time grasping it.
I feel like I'm missing out on money, but I also don't know much about this.
Last year, I was medically retired from the Army at 70%. I was in for about 15 years and the number on my paperwork said my retirement would be a little over $2500. I've got 80% VA disability, which is a little over $1900. I was just approved for CRSC and from what I can tell, I'm getting my VA compensation, then with retirement and CRSC, I'm roughly getting an additional $1000. I was thinking I was going to get close to the $2500 for retirement.
What am I missing? Thanks for any knowledgeable response.
Sorry for the rough numbers, I dont have my paperwork in front of me
