How does medical retirement work for someone who has both NG and active duty time?

This could get long.
I served my first contract in Active, 6 years. Once I ETS'd and had a family I got the itch right after my IRR time was up, and I enlisted in the Guard, and I've spent 3 years here. About a year ago my COC noticed my attitude was miserable and had me checked by a psych. They determined I have pretty bad PTSD and initiated a med board. I was put on Non-Traditional drill status and told my drill was seeing the shrink. In that time I also decided to apply for VA disability. Rated 90%. The Medboard finally finished and they've retired me. I don't know how retirement works for soldiers in my situation. Does it go off of guard standards since I retired from there, or active duty standards because I have more time there? Is there a 3rd option?
Second, my PEBLO told me I qualify for CRSC, and DFAS has told me I don't have to wait until i'm 60 to receive it. I'm so confused about this entire thing, any help to be had out there?

Contact your COC they will have some if not all the information you need or a place to get answers. You can also see a VSO=Veterans Service Officer the service is free and usually they have a VSO in each county. Good Luck and Thank you for your Service.

Your Unit personnel office should be able to set you up with appointment with their Headquarters personnel who take care of all retirement issues, could be in person, phone, video or if you are medical retired they should have given telephone Nr’s to assists you. Check any of your Unit paper that have over the years and one must have your Headquarters that your unit attached to unless you are part of the Headquarters which I doubt. Wishing the best of luck and that goes for all Veterans!
