So I received my ratings last week (Thursday), I was rated 10% DOD and 70% VA. I am okay with these findings but as I read my paperwork I noticed the DOD finding specified "WITH Severance pay WITHOUT benefits." I am assuming this means that since I was rated below 30% I do not qualify for the retirement benefits (base priveleges/commissary/tricare for life), which is okay by me. I just want to know what "without benefits" means before I sign my paperwork. My PEBLO is a pain the rear to get ahold of and with the recent power outages in SoCal a lot of workplaces on base are shutdown. Can anyone here provide some information?
