Normalgirl you are correct however I don't think that's what he means a VA pension. The answer is YES... Lets say your retirement pay is $3,000 per month. However you are rated at 50% disabled... So you will recieve $1500 RETIREMENT pay and $1500 DISABILTY pay. But, The DISABILTY pay is tax free. Feel free to IM me

This does not compute..
The retirement pay penalty is no longer valid,, If you have 20yrs and 50% you get 4500 @ month..

Have you changed your CDRP to CRSC?
That is quite a bit lower.

Correct.
Combat Related Special Compensation was enacted. In 2008 it was amended to allow those medically retired with less then 20 to receive both military pay and VA disability with no offset.

Well I stand corrected then, I retired in 2006 and I know I was denied CRSC however I have a 60% SC disability. Re-filing paper now. Thanks and sorry for the misleading info.

I qualify for both but my reg disability is a higher dollar figure than the combat related deal. Either one is handled in the same manner, no deduction.
Yearly the VA sends me a letter asking which I choose to elect and when the reg dis went higher (due to the 10% yearly phase in) than the combat related I changed over.
