Yeah, I don’t read it that way, and neither did DFAS when they awarded me tax exemption starting last month. I may not get the money back that I payed in taxes for my pension over the last 3 years, but the publication reads (ad-libbing using my own words here) “if you retired based off years and were later awarded disability, your pension is entitled to tax exemption”. Both of those statements are true in my case so I’m going to pursue this until the IRS tells me no. Because, why not? 😉
