Empowering veterans to attain the rating and compensation they deserve. | USAF (Retired) | Veteran Coach @just4veterans

Wondering if Reservists can get VA disability benefits? The answer is yes, but with some limitations. Many veterans join the Reserves or National Guard after active duty. However, you can't receive VA compensation and drill pay at the same time, so you'll need to waive one benefit, reducing the amount by what you receive from the other. There are exceptions: Veterans eligible for Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay (CRDP) and Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC) can receive compensation from both the DoD and the VA. Also, retirees from the Reserves or National Guard can still get monthly VA compensation as long as they don’t receive military retirement pay simultaneously. Tag someone planning to join the Reserves or National Guard and share this important info! #compensation #benefits #Reserves
