disability pay

One other little thing; the percentage is not the percentage of your retirement pay. It is a percentage of the allowed amount which can range to just over $3000 monthly dependent on family members. Rank/Time in Service have no bearing on the amount you receive.

A person with 50% disability, spouse, and two kids will get $936.00 per month regardless of retiring as an E-6 with 20 years or an 0-6 with 30.
