Retirees Due Back Pay

[mrstix]

Good morning all. Has anyone seen the article on www.Military.com about CRSC and CRDP due back pay?

Is this a fact or just speculation, sure would be nice if correct. If so what would it be from, it's a pretty confusing article. Any Info: on this would be great, from you all. Have a good day.

I still don't understand exactly what they have in mind here-

CRDP and CRSC got messed up from the git go- I sure hope they straighten it all out-

each claim for these benefits was unique- so I am surprised that

"The number of retirees who qualify for retroactive payment rises monthly, at least by the number of retirees who apply for and begin receiving disability compensation. That will continue until VA and DoD begin their computer programs to identify and fully compensate those who have been underpaid."

BEGIN their computer programs? I think a lot of this was done early on by each service branch by having people using a hand held calculator or maybe the pencil and paper way-to figure this stuff out-

no good co-ordination at all between VA and DFAS- my opinion only-

But All retirees potentially due more money should sure follow this news-
