CRSC Advice

Good day,

I am looking for advice or insight from anyone in a similar situation. I submitted my CRSC application to the Department of the Navy on 11-2023. I was told they normally take 16 months to decide on your application, and I recently emailed them for an update; they stated in December that it was in the adjudication phase and needed 30 more days. Has this timeline been the same for similar Navy/ Marine folks?

Lastly, I was Chapter 61, medically retired in August of 2023. DOD RAS at $858, DOD: 30%, 5 years & 9 months of total AD service, VA: 100% P&T (Spouse, 1 Dependent, 1 SMC-K- $136). I filled out all my paperwork regarding my reason for medical retirement and asthma, which gave me a 30% rating. I included all my VA rating paperwork, but I mainly oriented my CRSC application around asthma due to the PACT Act and the cause of this from "Instruments of War" during my time in Afghanistan. Should I expect a CRSC rating of 30% if I am approved? VA rating for this was 30% for asthma as well. I was diagnosed with PTSD and some other conditions that could be related to combat. But when I did my initial filing, I thought that CRSC was only for the condition that you were retired for and/or if it was combat-related. Would the CRSC board see my paperwork and possibly award me with these other combat-related disabilities that I didn't try and prove in my application? Or just the asthma, and will the CRSC be awarded at the same percentage? If they award me 30%, how much can I expect to receive in CRSC? Thanks.

Regards,

That’s a very normal timeline for the Navy. My own application took about 18 months.

They will pull your current VA code sheet. They won’t pull your medical record. They will use anything on your code sheet that can be considered automatic like PACT Act items. Things like PTSD would probably require you to submit your medical record and or your 1650s from a CAR or other awards. I say probably because the Navy seems inconsistent. My own personal experience was they denied my initial application for PTSD until I submitted the 1650s for award narratives. My DD214 was not enough.

On the math part of your post. It’s going to be a pretty small amount.

From my math, using the formula RON provides, I would be around $400 a month if CRSC applied at 30%?
