SPC(P) Private RallyPoint Member 6656195 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am facing a MEB. My LES says 22yrs of service, I get paid max pay. When I go to the MEB, will this be my years of service they will use in consideration for Medical Retirement? Will they use my BASD, PEBD, or DIEMS? My YOS pay has been verified by the Brigade S1 SGM. I was active then reserve then active now. 2021-01-13T00:27:56-05:00 SPC(P) Private RallyPoint Member 6656195

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You might not get a medical retirement, you might get a medical separation instead, depending on what the IDES rates you. When your ratings are returned the PEBLO will explain how much money you&#39;re getting. There are multiple formulas with multiple ratings for VA and Army money. Too many to begin to speculate on right now until you have your ratings back. I realize you want to get an idea of what you&#39;ll be getting but at this point it could be anything from a few hundred to several thousand a month and lots of extra benefits. If you&#39;re curious about the formulas you can go on the DFAS website for them.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>For your calculations though, if you&#39;re an AD Soldier your years of service is calculated using your BASD

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you&#39;re Active Duty with a BASD of 11/06/2014, then you don&#39;t have 22 years of Service. You have around 7 years. Reserve years and Active years are not 1 for 1.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you have a long list of ailments write them down for your VA physical. Be honest with the doctor giving you a physical evaluation. Some people will minimize their pain.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>After the VA gives you a physical they will make you a % proposal and u will most likely have a VA rep at your post. If u don’t agree with the proposal I am going to make the assumption that you should appeal the proposal right away with VA rep.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was Navy, NavRes, Army, Army Reserve.<br />I had 22yr total, 18 Active... <br />With my MEB and 22yrs,<br />They counted ONLY ACTIVE Time for my CHAP 35. I didnt CHAP 61.<br />If you have 20 or more, you&#39;ll get Concurrent Retirement/Disability Pay (CRDP), but only your Retirement will be taxable.<br />I had to sign a &quot;VA WAIVER&quot; to waive any retirement pay...for me the math dictated this. The largest return with MINIMAL TAXES. <br />I&#39;m now a &quot;TRIPLE DIPPER&quot;...<br />1. SSI 100% Total and Permanent (T&amp;P)<br />Awarded day after discharge<br />2. VA 100% T&amp;P<br />Awarded 3yrs7mos after AD discharge (lost all that AR time due to MEB processing)<br />3. COMBAT RELATED SPECIAL COMPENSATION (CRSC...for non-CRDP eligible members).<br />Yep. You have to be &quot;ate up&quot; to qualify for all three.<br />It was a FIGHT EVERY BIT OF THE WAY.<br />I&#39;m counting my blessings and &quot;fading away&quot; in rural Western Washington.<br />Schaferbruch Rabbiteering &amp; Chickeneering.
