Question about military retirement and disability. I separated the military at 13 years (for personal reasons, I was not medically retired). I joined the SELRES to try and get to 20 years for retirement. I applied for VA disability and got a 60% claim. Am I eligible for reservist retirement at 60 with my current YoS and rating?

No.

DFAS is talking about a service disability rating (from a service medical board process) which is completely different from the VA process and rating.

You still need 7 good years as a SELRES to get a retirement at age 60.

A reserve retirement requires 20 good years. So with your active time you will need 7 good years to reach that 20.

However, that will mean you will not collect retirement until age 60.

That’s what I thought too, but then I read this on the DFAS website.

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?
