Here’s my current VA benefits situation:
I used the Benefits Delivery at Discharge (BDD) program to submit my veteran disability compensation benefit claim before my final retirement. Since I’m not out yet, I don’t no what disability will be assessed by the VA, but supposedly I will receive my benefits soon after I leave the service. We’ll see.
I also added my family members to the 9/11 GI Bill so I can let them use my education benefits after they graduate high school if they need the money.
I went to the Soldier for Life briefings twelve months before my separation date.
I set passwords for ebenefits, milconnect (both of these use the DS logon), mypay, and myhealthevet.
So now, I’m waiting for my separation to see what happens next.
Future posts will discuss my education benefits, the BDD program, life insurance considerations, health insurance considerations, and Soldier for Life.
I hope that the information I share about my retirement and VA experience helps you with your own experience.
