Can you get PDRL and VA disability?
You need a valid disability rating to qualify for either TDRL or PDRL, and being placed on these lists will qualify you for a series of additional benefits on top of your disability pay. You can receive both VA disability and retirement pay at the same time.
What happens when you go from Tdrl to PDRL?
If you have been transferred from the TDRL to the PDRL, your retired pay will be recalculated using your most current disability rating. If you have concerns about your VA disability rating, please contact the VA at 800-827-1000.
How long can you stay on Tdrl?
5 years
TDRL can last for a maximum of 5 years. If the condition improves enough to return to duty during that time, it could end much earlier.
