Yes. I originally asked for a higher step and they countered with more leave accrual. Basically, they credited me for 5 1/2 years of SCD for general military time and 2 years for deployments so I started with 7.5 years of SCD

I negotiated 5.5 years based on my experience and was credited 2 years for deployments, but nothing separately for being a chapter 61 retiree

The CFR says it is title 38 under 842.306 para b2 Copy the OPM verbiage directly into google and you will find the statutory information governing the regulation. Bottom line is if you are receiving CRSC for the condition(s) you were medically retired for and your codes are AC or IN, you should...

Why would you waive your military retirement. Was your chap 61 retirement not for the service connected condition you are or will receive CRSC for? The OPM guidance says you don’t have to waive the military retired pay if you were retired for that service connected condition and the condition...

Have you received an answer on this yet? I’m a fed with 7 years now. Just received my retro CRSC and my estimated military earnings for service credit buyback. My Chapter 61 retirement WAS for the service connected condition that I’m now receiving CRSC for and which was due to an...

I was PDRL in 2014. 100%DoD, 100%VA and last month 100% CRSC with 6 years of back pay. I read through all the HR 1282 legislation and am still confused My total retired pay @75% of high 3 COLA adjusted is $6173. $4072 is VA offset, DOD portion is $2100 and CRSC is $538 If the legislation...

Thanks. I’ve always appreciated the sage advice here. Just to recap, I was an 04 with 13 years of service in 2014. PEB with 100% DOD and VA for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. I always thought it was burn pit related but didn’t file for CRSC because I didn’t think it would be approved. Then the...

I just received 100% CRSC for a Pact Act condition with 6 years of retro pay. Condition originally rated as 100% P&T in 2014

Thanks Ron This is really helpful!

Hi Ron, 1. High 3 is $6527 and gross retired pay is $5679 1a yes 2 100% 3 12 years and 10 months 4b $3746 5 100% 6 No 7 No 8 No

Thanks Ron, Yes, my high 3 was off —maybe closer to $6500. From what you’re saying, I wouldn’t receive any additional DOD compensation but my taxable income would go down with the CRSC award. I believe it also makes all my active duty time creditable towards my civilian service retirement. I...

I had a simple PEB. 100% DOD and 100% VA P&T for leukemia. Held off on CRSC because I thought the nexus would be hard to connect to burn pits. Applied with lawyers serving veterans this summer and they are helping with my CRSC claim based on PACT act passage Total VA + DOD at time of...

I thought about it, but proving the nexus would be difficult. I think I’m going to wait for the legislation to pass, get an updated VA letter then go for it. Thanks for your reply
