I could be wrong but that is my understanding, good luck.  SGT Private RallyPoint Member Wed, 23 Apr 2014 20:32:55 -0400 2014-04-23T20:32:55-04:00 Response by SGM Matthew Quick made Apr 23 at 2014 11:26 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/i-received-my-rating-from-the-va-i-went-from-50-to-80-can-i-get-medically-retired?n=109639&urlhash=109639 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><a target="_blank" href="http://www.dfas.mil/retiredmilitary/disability/disability.html">http://www.dfas.mil/retiredmilitary/disability/disability.html</a><div class="pta-link-card"><br /><div class="pta-link-card-content"><br /><div class="pta-link-card-title"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.dfas.mil/retiredmilitary/disability/disability.html">Disability Retirement </a></div><br /><div class="pta-link-card-description">Based on your disability rating, your Branch of Service may place you on either the Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL) or the Permanent Disability Retired List (PDRL).</div><br /></div><br /><div style="clear:both;"></div><br /><div class="pta-box-hide"></div><br /></div> SGM Matthew Quick Wed, 23 Apr 2014 23:26:57 -0400 2014-04-23T23:26:57-04:00 Response by SSG Keven Lahde made Apr 23 at 2014 11:31 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/i-received-my-rating-from-the-va-i-went-from-50-to-80-can-i-get-medically-retired?n=109646&urlhash=109646 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>MSG do I have to request a MRB or what?

CRSC has many loop holes and the process is slow and confusing. The calculations are even more confusing (for me). I always feel like I have a dunce hat on when someone explains the means of calculation.<br /><br />I agree with your post, and hope if it happens I hope I am included. If not, I am glad for the retirees who are benefitted. SFC Dr. Joseph Finck, BS, MA, DSS Fri, 12 Sep 2014 16:17:28 -0400 2014-09-12T16:17:28-04:00 2014-04-23T20:28:58-04:00
