Separation Pay Hardship Request

[Carl the Engineer]

So, my claims closed on the 2nd, and I got 100% P&T.  Yesterday and then today, I have been going on eBenifits and myVA to track my 3K retro.

Today when I logged in I see I have a claim pending starting on the 3rd. 

Separation Pay Hardship Request.

I did not make this request, but maybe the VFW did, or maybe the VA did.  Don't know.

I do know, I did receive Separation Pay when I exited the Military of around $63,000.00.  And I do know they recouped around $47,000.00 or maybe 43K, not sure right now, after tax amount, before I received any VA compensation.  I basically went from 2009 till 2014 before I received any money into my bank account.

This new claim says "under review", so your guess is as good as mine.

I am only 100% P&T for 2 days, lets not screw that up!,

Ham, I sure hope I am wrong, but I don't know what is going on. As far as I know it is the law that all separation pay must be recouped prior to veteran begin receiving payment. I hope others will chime in; the VA recouped all my separation pay.

Check this out.

Separation Pay & VA Disability Compensation | CCK Law (cck-law.com)

Can I get a waiver for the recoupment (like I can with debt owed to VA)?

Unfortunately, VA debt is different from VA recoupment and VA will not consider waivers for separation pay recoupment.

pac,

I payed all my separation pay back already.  Excluding taxes.

I have just been reading and the only thing I can see is that they (the VA) never notified me that I could have requested a hardship at that time in 09'., and maybe that tripped a trigger on someone?

I could see if it was a review to see if I had paid it back, which I did, no sweat,

But, Hardship and Request, is what has me by the short hairs,

Administrative Review

Maybe I'll call my CVSO on Monday and see if she can see anything,
