Mike G Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Mike, What info did they have for your sleep apena? Were you active, what was your nexus?? Thanks I was active duty and had an overnight sleep study administered. Diagnosed with a moderate case of sleep apena. Dr. prescribed the CPAP, tricare paid for it while I was still active. i didn't know about sleep apena until I went to the doc complaining about being tired all the time, fatigued and unexplained weight gain. Wife always told me I would stop breathing in my sleep, so I told the doc. Went through EENT and cardiopulmonary, took about 6 months to complete the loop.

jimmy Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I just got my retro payment for CRDP this month which was 75 days after my award letter and the payment came from the VA. When I called the VA they also said DFAS would pay it and DFAS said VA would pay it. Concurrent retired and CRDP payments can go back to 2004 -- Military.com has a good site to show how to calculate the amount. http://www.military.com/benefits/military-...pay-computation On your award letter it should show in the entitlement table one block that says "election to receive compensation:withholding due to military retired pay ends". For emample, if it is 1 MAY 07, you will get the total amount of entitlement from the VA on 1 JUN 07 which will be for MAY 07. Your Retired LES effective 1 JUN 07 will be reduced to show the CRDP offset. For example, my VA entilement is $937 and my CRDP amount is $515. I get $937 from the VA and my retired pay is reduced by $422 ($937-$515). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
