Retro Pay

[harleyvet]

I received some of my retro pay this morning. Is it normal for them not to give all of your retro pay at once? At 80% I should be getting retro from April 28 through Sept 28 which I figured to be about 7,000+. I only have 2,700 this morning. Do I need to call someone and complain? I appreciate you input.

Harleyvet -

Carlie is right- if you receive Military retirement, then it can affect your VA comp and vice versa.

It is all explained here under CRDP and check to see if you are eligible for CRSC instead:

Yes Berta, both you and Carlie are correct. I just received the big brown envelope today breaking it all down for me. They withheld the equivalent of my retired pay for 5 months. I do qualify for CRSC, but I will need some help getting that filled out and sent away. I am thinking of taking a trip to the local VFW and asking for their help. Thank You for all of your replies.
