crsc

Hi everyone, I have been following this forum for a while now, and there are a lot of knowledgeable individuals here, I want to be as transparent as possible. So I've decided to share as much supporting documentation as possibly permitted. I edited out certain information i.e names, and P.O.Cs...

This information has been transferred from another thread to allow for a "sticky" at the top of the CRSC forum. 20 August 2019. Upon further review... Although the DFAS pays benefits that have the titles of CRDP (Concurrent Retirement Disability Pay and CRSC (Combat Related Special...

First of all thank you all for all your help. This forum tends to answer question that I can't even get from the admin people on base.... That said I'm trying to estimate my take home retirement pay and I've found a couple of things and no one seems to be able to answer.... I got my MEB...

Ron, Hopefully flattery is currency in these parts I have read through a number of your CRSC post and for the life of me I'm not able to see the "Matrix"as you do. I am admittedly dense when it come to number crunching this is why I pay smart men and women with aptitude to do my taxes. On...

All, I was just made aware through a prior colleague of mine that CRSC isn't restricted to Combative Theater sustained injuries; special operations and hazardous duty qualifies as well. I am mid-stride in MEB/PEB process currently and, like many, I am seeking to maximize the financial position...

Can anyone shed some real insight on how a CRSC board is conducted? I am not looking for the requirements of what material and documents to present, rather how do they actually conduct the board to determine if the submissions are combat related? Do they only go off what is submitted? Can they...

I have thought about it for a long time and I am on the fence about applying for CRSC. I am currently 70% DOD (TDRL) and 80% VA. I was a combat advisor in Afghanistan and had a few key events that led to PTSD which is currently rated 50% and service connected. No CAB or any direct combat. My...

Hi guys and gals, I've been trying to help my husband apply for CRSC for years- and every time we try, we get so overwhelmed by the process we give up. The biggest challenge we face is knowing what kind of paperwork/documentation he needs to include for proof of his injuries (he was shot in...

So I have received 40% from DOD and 70% VA. My combat related incident was not the main injury for meb. But I received 30% from VA for my PTSD. I do have a cib, arcom, and ncoer stating I was in 30 direct combat missions and taking numerous named objectives. Would that be plenty of proof to get...

So...... I've signed my 199 and found out my reserve unit has not been cutting orders for my medical appointments, training or therapy appointments like they said they were doing for the past three years. I'm 100% P&T VA. I was told they were only cutting orders for points since the VA takes the...

up front, I just wanted to say that this site has been a huge asset to me as I have navigated through the IDES process. Thank you all. Just received my PEB Findings and my recommended ratings - 80 DOD, 100 VA. I will eventually need to apply for CRSC due to being at 14 yrs AD. If my DA199...

Not sure if anyone will know this answer but worth a shot, I received a phone call from my Aw2 about my CRSC process (been alittle over 14 months since it was submitted.) she was told that I would need to submit a letter from an nco or officer backing my claim of events in Iraq which caused me...

I'm a current Guardsman prior active duty Soldier. I have 5 years in both with 2 deployments. The Guard started the IDES process on me back in February of this year once my LODs were approved. A week ago my PEBLO informed me my paperwork came back as 50% DoD rating, recommended PDRL due to...

Trying to understand CRDP/CRSC, but getting very conflicting information by multiple people. Going through MEB right now, got my ratings back. My referred condition is not combat related (sleep apnea) rated 50% PDR. Overall VA rating is 100%. I do have some combat related conditions that states...

I am 70% DOD and 80% VA on TDRL soon. I am getting some conflicting information regarding what is tax free and what isn't. I had 30% for cervicalgia and 50% PTSD with notes on the 199 saying it was due to armed conflict and the right box checks on the other side of the form. I was told any...

Hi all! I've lurked for over a year, so thank you for all of the valuable information! After almost 3 years, my fiance has finally received his PDBR decision - his Army medical discharge was upgraded to retired at 40%, retro to date of discharge based on the DJD and the DDD. DFAS says it takes...

Hello All, I just wanted to see your recent timelines for CRSC adjudications; specifically DON applications. Below is where I am: 1/10/2017: Mailed CRSC application 1/13/2017: Application Delivered via Certified Mail 1/23/2017: Received email from CRSC board acknowledging application...

Ok so this is confusing. I get va pay and also crsc for 70% but put in a reconsideration form and approved for 90% for crsc now with that being said. My retirement pay from the army would have been 1,438 but did the va waiver. Right now for ge crsc 70% I get $643. I was told since I only did 11...

I am rated 40% Army 90% VA I am wondering if on my VA ratings it states Gulf War incurred does that likely qualify for CRSC? I spoke to the AW2 representative at Schofield and bc my referred MEB condition is not combat related he stated he could not help me file. Any help would be greatly...

I filed for a PEB review. It is my understanding that the military decided that the PEB review process going on around 10-15 years ago wasn't being decided very fairly. They have been reevaluating older cases. I was originally given 10%, but VA gave me over 90%. I was told that I had a good...
