Hello again @RonG !Hello @Edsego86

2. DoD disability retirement percentage: 70%
3. Years/months of active duty: 16 years, 5 mo
4. VA percentage/compensation: 100%w/Spouse
5. CRSC Award: 100%
6. Qualify for another type of retirement? No

Estimate based on the info provided:
a. 4175.47 x 70% = 2922.83 retired pay; reduced to zero by amount of VA comp
b. 16.417 yrs x 2.5% = 41.04% longevity multiplier
c. 4175.47 x 41.04% = 1713.61 longevity portion of retirement and CRSC

Hello Eddie,Hello again @RonG !
My CRSC finally came back. I’ve been given a 90% for CRSC Award. May I request a new computation please? All of the other inputs remain the same. Hope all is well! Happy new year!

Wow! Thank you for the very quick response! I am a bit confused though… my numbers don’t change although my award amount became 90% instead of 100%? I feel like I am missing something. Can I not exceed $1731.61 because of a limitation? Thank you again very much!Hello Eddie,
90% CRSC rate from VA comp tables for veteran and spouse = 2,353.39
Payable CRSC = 1713.61 based on the info you provided. CRSC cannot exceed the longevity portion of retired pay
a. 4175.47 x 70% = 2922.83 retired pay; reduced to zero by amount of VA comp
b. 16.417 yrs x 2.5% = 41.04% longevity multiplier
c. 4175.47 x 41.04% = 1713.61 longevity portion of retirement and CRSC
Good luck,
Ron

Ooooohhh!!! It finally clicked! Okay! Thank you!!!Hello,
The CRSC laws have additional restrictions as to the amount payable to CH 61 disability retirees.
The max amount of CRSC payable to a CH61 retiree is the longevity portion of retired pay.
Special Rules for Chapter 61 Disability Retirees: According to law, members retired for disability under Chapter 61 of title 10 United States Code must have the CRSC entitlement limited to an amount that when combined with any military retired pay remaining after offset for VA disability compensation will not exceed the retired pay they would otherwise be entitled to for retirement computed for years of service (i.e., 2 1/2 percent x years of service x pay base).
