The process of retiring from the military medical is terribly confusing and it has tons of misinformation. I am currently going through the process with the IDES system ... IDES is the system that combines the VA rating system with the military retirement process.... more to come
Terms used:
(CRSC) provides special compensation to retirees who have retired pay reduced because of receiving U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) disability compensation

Special Compensation Branch Contact via Email
Phone Number: 1-888-276-9472
TERA retirees include anyone who retired under the Temporary Early Retirement Act.
Offers early retirement to service-members with at least 15 to 19 years of service. TERA AKA chapter 61
If you qualify for early retirement under Chapter 61 you receive your retirement as if you went the full 20 years If you are a reservist you do not need to wait till age 60 to receive retirement monies. You CAN NOT receive VA Comp and retirement monies simultaneously . You may be able to get a offset by taking advantage of CRSC
FYI If you retire under Chapter 61 your retirement monies come from the VA ,, not DFAS
