I read on: https://www.dfas.mil/retiredmilitary/disability/crdp.html And my lawyer confirmed concurrent pay is automatic, also if I receive Disability Retirement then because of my 100% p/t VA rating then I would qualify for Concurrent VA and Retirement pay. you are a disability retiree who earned entitlement to retired pay under any provision of law other than solely by disability, and you have a VA disability rating of 50 percent or greater. You might become eligible for CRDP at the time you would have become eligible for retired pay. You do not need to apply for CRDP. If qualified, you will be enrolled automatically. I also have my congressman helping me. I'm just wondering about the MEB/PEB process and a new C&P exam. I read on the PEB forum that Vets that already had a VA rating had to go through another C&P exam and I just hope that doesn't happen to me.

Of course so now I’m wondering since I’m kind of going backwards, already rated by VA for 7 years 100% P/T, if granted my disability retirement, and referred to MEB, will I be given new CP exam by VA? Am I risking my rating? Don’t want to lose it since it’s permanent and total.

My discharge was upgraded by BCNR because of undiagnosed PTSD, Hagel PTSD memo from OTH to General Under Honorable Conditions. Now, requesting my Military Disability Retirement. I was never referred to an MEB even though my chain of command knew about my condition. Now with a lawyer many years later I’m still fighting for my benefits. Question, if granted, and referred to MEB/PEB, since I’m already rated 100% P/T by VA, during MEB/PEB will I have to go to another C&P exam? Am I risking my rating by requesting my Military disability retirement?

Hey guys, Any information is appreciated. Im already rated 100% p/t for PTSD, MDD by VA for 7 yrs. Discharged 15 yrs ago. I requested Military Disability Retirement for undiagnosed PTSD to BCNR. If granted and referred to MEB/PEB, do I have to do another C&P exam during MEB/PEB process? Thanks in advance.
