VA disability

0

Q.  Here is a question that nobody seems to know the answer, I am hoping someone on staff can answer the question.  I retired from the U.S. military and am receiving retired pay and VA disability at 60 percent.  I am paying monthly allotments to buy back my military time.  So I am getting military retirement /CPRD & VA disability (service connected).  When I retire from federal service under FERS and waive my military retired pay, do I still keep my VA payments for service disability?

Simply put, can you receive a FERS retirement and VA disability even though you waived your military retirement pay?
