While not related to retirement / pension, this is something that might help people here.
When I separated from AD back in the 2010s, I did the VA thing and received 60% rating by their funky chicken math (how 80% = 60% I'll never know.). A portion of it was my lower back and my neck from flying. I really didn't give it much thought and went on with reserve and civilian life.
Over the years my neck and lower back have gotten worse, tolerable but worse. A friend who was USAF worked with this organization to get a re-evaluation and it worked great for him. It took some convincing but eventually I did their re-evaluation / assessment program as well, which resulted in a significantly increased rating. It runs about $3K but you'll recoup that with a better rating and the initial phone consult is free.
