Hi everyone!
80% and filing another claim. I get to this on ebenefits....ummm,Not sure what to click. 22 years active retired, already above 50% disability. I am sure I am overthinking it. Side note: i filed for an increase for a claim that was awarded, i uploaded the dbq from civilian doc and a statement from myself and my increase went thru in less than 6 days. Wow
Btw, 2 vso's and 1 yes and 1 no
The question in text format:
Do you want to receive VA compensation instead of military retired pay? if it is determined you are entitled to both benefits and you want to receive VA compensation instead of military retired pay, select Yes. If you are awarded military retired pay prior to VA compensation , we will reduce your retired pay by the VA compensation amount. VA will notify the Military Retired Pay Center of all benefit changes. If you receive both military pay and VA compensation , some of the amount you get may be recouped by VA, or, in the case of VSI, by the DOD.
Thank you in advance
