What happens when VA says that a part of your claim was deferred? Here's the email I received today from my State VA rep:
I located your folder and it appears that you were granted 40% service connection. A letter was mailed to you yesterday. The PTSD claim was deferred. Based on your records, you were paid $XX,XXX separation pay for your first enlistment and $XX,XXX disability severance pay for your 2nd enlistment. You will not receive any payment from VA until both payments are recouped.
Also, could some tell me where I can find information on severance/separation pay recoupment. I was under the impression that only the amount of the disability severance pay would be withheld. I hope that's a mistake because my first enlistment ended in Aug 2000. How would I get the money back from the taxes that were withheld during that time?
