This didn't age well.Just from your summary that sounds pretty unwinnable.

I haven't yet, when did you release? I released in 2012.Has anyone seen anything from this yet?
My release was 2015.I haven't yet, when did you release? I released in 2012.
I will post when I receive somethingMy release was 2015.
So what I get out of this is that it is not for those receiving pain and suffering compensation.

thats for a different class action, this is the allowance class action.So what I get out of this is that it is not for those receiving pain and suffering compensation.
I just got paid. Released Nov 2007. It appears that I got my spec pay only. No paperwork has been sent yet, just a direct deposit into my account.
Oh see that's what I was wondering if PLD was going to be included in this . It's still an alloanceInteresting, would be good to see how they break it down. But if this ends up not paying out PLD, it's going to be a huge disappointment to a lot of people.
Were you in a receipt of PLD on retirement?
Yes, I received a rather high PLD like everyone who lived here. Buuuuut.....PLD is not listed on my release papers like my specialist allowance was. The lawsuit states we are entitled to any allowances we received ON release day. PLD was not paid on our last day.Interesting, would be good to see how they break it down. But if this ends up not paying out PLD, it's going to be a huge disappointment to a lot of people.

Hey perhaps maybe today you could have recieved grounds maintence or house maintence payments from vac. I got them my self this morning. Just log into your Medicine Blue Cross account and it will tell you if you were direct deposited on the 6th of the month thus it being sent yet not being posted and showing in your account till this morningYes, I received a rather high PLD like everyone who lived here.

So very true. This could have been avoided by listing off which allowances were included. Even in the lawsuit summary it mentions Simon Logan's receipt of PLD amongst many others. Since day 1, the thrust of most my talks with veterans was..."PLD was an allowance right!?" And it sure was. But (no pay clerk here) I think PLD may have been a "prepay" on day 1 of pay cycle. Meaning, on our last day of work, we had already been paid our PLD for that month. I think that's what's happened.Interesting, would be good to see how they break it down. But if this ends up not paying out PLD, it's going to be a huge disappointment to a lot of people.

No. I'm well versed on our pay and benefits. This was 100% the lawsuit payout. It was a LOT.Hey perhaps maybe today you could have recieved grounds maintence or house maintence payments from vac.

FYI: I was an MSE guy. My allowances were, clothing, "sea pay", specialist pay and PLD on top of my salary. I released on 2007 and received $42,000 after lawyer, and taxes were taken. That said...I don't know how much taxes were taken but know damn well that it wasn't enough. I'll owe more taxes on this for sure. Also.....since sisip gave me a raise, IRB will now* (edit) reduce my pay by that same amount. So be aware that even though we received our back pay, it's only because IRB has decided to leave it alone, that we are actually getting paid. But...IRB (VA) has stated they will be reducing our IRB by the same amount our SiSIP raise was, moving forward.No. I'm well versed on our pay and benefits. This was 100% the lawsuit payout. It was a

It's definitely NOT paying PLD. If it did, I'd have received another $100k at the very leastInteresting, would be good to see how they break it down. But if this ends up not paying out PLD, it's going to be a huge disappointment to a lot of people.
