TSGhill Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 If you are member of the Guard or Reserve and you are medically retired for a service-connected disability, will you receive your retirement pay on the effective date of your retirement? Or do you have to wait until age 60? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berta Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 How long do you have in the Guards? I see you are 60% VA and I would think maybe this would be considered as concurrent receipt which- only in certain circumstances -can a vet get both at same time- Do you believe that the 60% should be rated higher? are you employed presently?

TSGhill Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 I'm an Air Reserve Technician (ART) with 28 years in the Reserves. With the medical retirement from the Reserves, I am also being forced to Retire from Civil Service. (They go hand-in-hand). I am presently working on getting my rating increased. How long do you have in the Guards?

Berta Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 ThanK you for those Long years of service- I suggest you apply for TDIU (the form and info is in the TDIU forum)- VA comp at the 100% rate- You could possibly be eligible for one of these benefits too-- CRDP or CRSC: http://www.military.com/benefits/military-...aring-crsc-crdp I am waiting to hear from an Reservist officer I know who just got back from TDY-Kuwait- maybe he could answer the pay and age question- He is about 60 years old himself- and still in the reserves but might know- I cant help with that question- we do have some retirees here that hopefully will answer-if I dont hear from the guy I know- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted May 14, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 14, 2009 I also think it's age 60 but I'd apply, just in case I'm wrong and if you're being medically retired for your SC condition, I'd request 100% or TDIU. pr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
