I have just recently been medically retired. Does anyone know when my medical retirement pay begins?

if you went through an MEB you should have been assigned a PEBLO to guide you through the process. They should have sat you down and explained all this to you. I looked in the IDES handbook but it doesn't give a timeframe for when the benefits should start up. I'm interested in an answer as well as I have a Soldier going through this process now.

For me when I medically retired it had to do with the date of my retirement. I was lucky and there was not a lot of people retiring on the 7th, so I got paid basically 2 months later. But it can take up to 90 days depending on how many retirees pay has to be processed.

If you've received an MEB, your Retired pay begins the month after your terminal leave ends. I think I received my VA pay 60 days after my last day on AD. The IDES process makes it fairly seamless.

I was given a retirement date and the MEB didn't care how much leave I had. So I sold the rest and retired. I also agree that the process was pretty seamless
