Mike G Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I just received my rating 70% recently. Sleep Apena was the largest portion of the rating (50%) with four other claims at 10% each for the combined rating of 70%. I don't think I fully understand the CDRP and how it works. Will I receive an additional payment from VA or DFAS? VA told be that's a DFAS program. When I called DFAS I was told to wait 60 days and refer to my RAS. I was under the assumption, based on what I read on various websites that I'm entitled to a graduated disability payment (phase in until 2014?) in addition to my retirement pay. Does anyone know the how it really works? Looking for help. Mike- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike- Hello Mike Congrats on the 70% on the CDRP you can go to the DFAS WEB site http://www.dod.mil/dfas/retiredpay/concurr...ymentrates.html and should be able to figure out by there math what you will be getting.

Berta Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 (edited) Mike great news- Boats gave you a great link-DFAS- Also I have posted CRDP and CRSC info here available under search and just this AM I posted new legislation that there has been a call to action from Retiress for support. These programs CRDP and CRSC etc are so confusing that there has been much discussion at Military.com and also ALLVETS Inc since they got off the ground years ago. I actually think some retirees are getting CRDP phase out when they should actually be getting CRSC. Boats- I recall posting a reply to you some time ago and see that you might not have found it. Under a search with Boats in the browser you might find it. I was concerned that the VA said you are "pre" diabetic. I wondered how they determined that.
