  1. Hello Ladies and Gentleman, I am new to the forum but I find it full of useful information. For that, thank you. Now, on to my question. Hopefully, I'm in the right category. I was involuntarily separated honorably due to force reduction 6 months prior to my ETS from Active Duty Army. I was given an option of Full or Half separation pay. To receive full, I had to sign a 3 year contract with the Army Reserves. Of course, I signed and received a nice lump sum even after taxes. I filed for disability and was awarded 80%. I was not allowed to receive payment until the separation pay was recouped. I was very well aware of that. I began attending drill and receiving drill pay for about 6 months. I was later informed that I would eventually be penalized for "double dipping". I informed my Reserve leadership that I would no longer be attending drill, partially because of the pay, but primarily because my side business was growing and taking up all of my weekends. I informed them I was willing to accept whatever consequences came with not attending. They understood. Fast forward one year. I have been notified that I will be administratively separated for unsatisfactory attendance. I was called by a Chief Warrant Officer who said that if I am discharged Under other than honorable conditions, I could lose my disability benefits. I did my research and found that I would only be barred from disability benefits that would occur from the Reserves and my Active Duty disability benefits would not be affected. My question is: What penalty will I face for having accepted Full Pay for a 3 year obligation and not completing it? I mean, I went 18 months without compensation due to recoupment. Looking forward to your replies. MaddMaxx0121
