We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Can you receive military retirement and 100% VA disability?

The answer is yes, it is possible, but only under certain conditions. Retired veterans who have a disability rating of 50% or higher, or qualify for Combat Related Special Compensation (CRSC), are eligible to receive both benefits in full.

What is VA form 21 8951 2?

c. However, a Veteran may, on his/her own initiative, notify VA of his/her receipt (or anticipated receipt) of drill pay, and whether he/she chooses to waive VA benefits or drill pay, by completing and submitting VA Form 21-8951-2, Notice of Waiver of VA Compensation or Pension to Receive Military Pay and Allowances.

Can you receive 100% VA disability and military retirement pay in 2025?

Yes, you can receive a 100% VA disability rating and military retirement through the Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC) or Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay (CRDP) programs if you qualify.

Is VA unemployability the same as 100% disability?

Veterans receiving Total Disability Individual Unemployability benefits (TDIU) receive compensation at the same rate as those who are considered 100% disabled. However, it is generally easier to be approved for TDIU benefits than it is to earn a 100% rating under the VAs schedular criteria.

What does the VA consider a hardship?

What is VA financial hardship? Financial hardship for purposes of requesting expediting of your VA disability claim means that you, the veteran, are unable to earn enough income to pay essential expenses such as housing payments or medical expenses relating to your disability.
