Sorry for the bad image, I thought it showed up from the screenshot of the spreadsheet. The increase is to 70%. When it was 40% my CRSC amount was $781 (actually $793 because it is calculating 2020 pay) and now it shows at 70% the CRSC amount of $1675.17, but looks as if I will only be...

I have been granted a CRSC increase. When I was first granted several months ago an Excel spreadsheet was really close on the amount. I am ggoing to post a screenshot to make sure I understand what I am seeing. It looks as if my new CRSC amount is $1696, but I am hitting some sort of...

Thanks Ron. The calculation makes sense. I appreciate the help you offer here.

Hey Ron, thanks for the help. I'm going to trust someone else to do the calculation. I do believe that I am in fact a Chapter 61 retiree, 27 years total service, but only 11.77 when broken down day for day with reserve time. DFAS RAS shows a pay amount of $3508 DoD is 70% AD equivalent is...

I've played around with the calculators but I'm pretty confused. MY DFAS account shows my retirement pay as $3500 per month, waived due to VA Comp. I was reserve most of my career so I know that will not be my retired pay amount when I turn 60, because my 27 years overall comes up to just...

I hope so. Once I figure out which code it goes under I think I have it ready to go. I really do not want a denial on a technical issue.

It is SC, one of the few that managed to get VA connection and also acknowledged by DoD during the medboard.

Hey oddpedestrian, I am currently preparing a CRSC Claim (Army) and do have a respiratory rating for Asthma / Constrictive Bronchiolitus. I have strong Nexus letters linking it to burn pits in Iraq from a Pulmonologist. Did you ever see those get granted for CRSC? I'm still gathering the info...

Thanks Ron, it has been a terribly confusing process and my PEBLO never explained anything regarding money until the end. He sent a calculation that explained that I could have the DoD retired pay amount of around $1150 per month, or take the VA money. I'm not sure if it was a COVID thing or...

"After computation shown above, the gross disability retired pay is reduced by the amount of VA compensation you receive. You would have been required to agree to this waiver in order to receive VA compensation. Any residual (left over) retired pay after the reduction/waiver/offset is...

I was recently retired through a MEB. Like many I waived retirement pay to receive VA Compensation. As a reservist I was not entitled to retirement pay until the age of 60, and my 20+ years only added up to about 11.5 AD years. Strangely, my retired pay amount at DFAS shows my retirement...

As a reservist, the amount I would have gotten from DoD was about half of my VA Compensation. Like most, I chose to waive DoD retired pay to accept VA Compensation. I am supposed to get the full DoD pension at age 60. I do have drill pay debts, one will hit in a couple of weeks and I will pay...

I completed the MEB and retired in July. I was told to file for CRSC when the time came based on my DA199. I was not combat wounded, but I was injured while serving in Iraq. One of the things I was told I need to do is make sure I have a VA Waiver on file at DFAS. The VA sent me a VA5655 to...

I have to decide by tomorrow. I was found unfit for a couple of conditions, but rtd for some serious respiratory issues. Some of the medical records are not cited in the NARSUM or C&P exams. If I request IMR does that mean I have to go back through the exams, or will it allow me to provide...

So if I understand correctly, I could be eligible for CRSC with a combat rated disability, but the VA Comp will nullify any potential DoD retirement benefit until I am 60.
