No dependents, although I will have one any day now... Mom and I are not married (yet) so I've only been payed as a single vet so far. The main thing I'm confused about is the "double-dipping" thing. I was receiving compensation from both DoD and VA for about 11 months before the Army cut my pay. I was not aware that I couldn't collect from both, because technically, I was receiving compensation for separate diagnoses from each department. My IU approval letter from the VA says that I MAY have been overpaid, and they would withhold some of my compensation until 1 Dec 09 (the date of the letter, which makes no sense to me since the letter is dated 1 Dec 09). I guess the main question is if and how CRSC or CRDP would factor into the equation? Anybody familiar with how that works?

Ok, I'm not even sure how to explain my situation, but here goes... I'm 90% SC from VA, 40% combat-related TDRL from Army. My original VA claim was approved 15 Jan 09, back payed to 1 Sep 08. I received $1061/mo from Army between my retirement date of 3 Aug 08 until 1 Sep 09, when they waived my retirement pay in lieu of VA compensation. I applied for IU on 29 May 09, I just received my approval letter dated 1 Dec 09, with an effective date of 4 Aug 08. So, here are my questions: 1. Did I get overpaid? If so, now what? 2. Will I receive retro pay from the VA for IU? or 3. Will the Army recoup my IU retro pay? I'm also trying to figure out if, and how, CRSC or CRDP would factor into all this. I know I'm eligible for CRSC, but I haven't applied yet. I hope some of this makes sense, I'm really confused about the whole thing and I've searched everywhere with no answers. Please let me know if more info is needed or anything. Thank you.
