Did they medically retire you and you also pull a VA Pension? If that is the case and you have less than a 50% disability rating, any VA pension must be offset against your retirement. Call the VA office as ask them to explain Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay (CRDP) and see if this applies to you.
