Retro pay

[Specialist Four Army]

What I confused about is the 1,111 dollar retro pay from 03 to 2016 70% rating from 04 to 2016, % from 03sept to dec 03. I was receiving pension all that time

A payment of 1,111$ is wrong right

It really depends on what the difference from 70% and 100%.  That should be incorrect as 90% to 100% should be that amount.  How did they explain the difference with the pension?  They should have sent a full breakdown of benefits received and what is now being sent.

Broccovet has figured things like this out before,   if he sees your post  I imagine he will calculate this out.

as I understand there's a special calculator they use for retro and different %

you need to remember  Rerto is figured at the year it was paid  and what the retro was at that time,   historic retro is complicated to figure out and it increases as the years go by.

Yes, its wrong, based on what you posted.  The effective date may ALSO be wrong.  

1.  If the retro was wrong, then ask for an audit to correct it. 

2.  If the effective date was wrong, then file a nod disputing the effective date(s).  

You can use a retro calculator to determine your correct retro:
