VA Retro Update

The Disabled Military Retiree Retroactive Pay program, commonly called VA Retro, is well underway. 

Eligible retirees are those receiving either Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC) or Concurrent Retirement Disability Payments (CRDP) and have been awarded a retroactive disability rating increase by the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) since their date of initial entitlement. 

Payments are made by DFAS, DVA or both.  In the four months since payments began, approximately 51,000 retiree cases have been processed, representing 40 percent of the initial eligible population. Thus far, VA Retro payments have totaled $54 million.

More information on the VA Retro program is available at the DFAS Web site. Retirees can go to www.dfas.mil and click on Retired Pay. The fact sheet is located under the heading VA Retro/Disabled Military Retiree's Retroactive Pay.
