I was med boarded from the Army with 14 years 8 months of service in SEP 2025 for Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus. This sucked because I was only 5 years and 4 months from regular high 3 retirement.
100% VA P&T
100% DOD
On my 199 neither of these conditions were marked as combat related.
After my retirement my rheumatologist said that he thought both of these conditions were caused by my exposure to mustard gas during two of my deployments.
I had him and my doctor both write nexus letters stating that mustard gas exposure was the cause of my conditions and I also had my commander during those deployments write up detailed sworn statements about all of my mustard gas exposures.
In addition, I have a CIB, BSM, and two ARCOMs with C device as combat specific awards (from what I have seen this seems to matter)
My question is what do you think my chances are of getting approved for CRSC? Today marks day 103 since they acknowledged receipt of my CRSC packet and the anticipation is killing me.
