I was notified by an administrative review. My case manager told me I was supposed to be out in six months. That actually didn't happen because the paperwork got lost, literally, for about a year. Because I didn't want to be in the Forces anymore, because I couldn't take being around it, I put in for a voluntary release. I wanted to be out in 30 days. I was told that, if I did that, then I would actually lose my medical pension that I was supposed to be receiving because I was being medically released. That's how that happened.
As for people who are being released, you have to be in the Forces for 10 years in order to receive a medical pension upon a medical release. It can very easily happen to people that, if they don't serve for the 10 years, they're being released medically, and that pension won't be sufficient to sustain the life that they're living at that point in time.
I believe you were asking how long it took me to receive my payments for my pension. I was released June 19, and I did not receive payment until the end of September or so.
