Hi Ron, Yes, you have helped me. I plan to share my CRSC timeline and story here with everyone else as soon as I receive my retro pay. I have been receiving my CRSC benefit since July 1st, 2019. Like most others, I have no clue as to when I will get the retro pay, I'm hoping it will be soon.

I am currently 100% service-connected with the VA receiving a 100% VA compensation benefits. I am also, 100% combat-related for CRSC as of June 2019. My CRSC benefit is currently based on LOS calculations via my Chapter 61 criteria. QUESTION: If I apply for and get awarded individual...

Thanks again! I'll keep all in this thread posted on DFAS results.

Hello again Ron, I believe I have my case information properly in the format you need in order to help me. Gross Retired Pay: on most recent DFAS RAS $755 per month (Waived since 1993 For VA Compensation). 9 years and 7 months of active duty DoD Disability percentage: 30% VA percentage: 100%...

Absolutely Ron. When I get the exact number in the next few weeks, I'll share with the group.

Hello again Ron, Thank you so very much for your time and expertise. I truly appreciate all that you have done for me and deeply respect all which you have done for our fellow veterans in this forum. Truly yours, John

Roger that. My E6 pay over 8 years at the time of my medical retirement was $1,565.40 in the year 1993. At the time of my retirement, I had been at the level of E6 for 2 years and 7 months. I was meritoriously advanced to E6 in December 1990 while in combat during Desert Shield/Storm. I am...

Hi Ron, Recent DFAS RAS is $755 per month for the year ending 2018. 2018 pay for E6 over 8 is: $3,453.00 Thanks, John

Hi Ron, I tried to use the CRSC calculator on my Mac computer, but it does not appear on the webpage? Any help you can provide me is greatly appreciated. How will my CRSC back pay be calculated? Today, I received a letter from the Navy which stated I was awarded CRSC at 100%. The award date...

On behalf of all the Vets in this thread, I want to thank you sincerely for all of your help, Ron. You are doing such good work and I deeply appreciate all you do for us in here. As promised months ago, I will keep everyone informed of my progress with the hopes of helping others along the way...

Hi Ron, Round 1: It was determined to be a zero CRSC benefit situation for me. Reason being is that my VA Rate Sheet states “Gulf War Incurred” under my permanent nerve damage and permanent physiological impairment rather than “Undiagnosed Illness.” With a 160% VA rating, all my Gulf War...

Thanks, Sam! Congratulations on making it to the CRSC finish line.

Hello Baioux66, If it is not too much to ask, what branch of service were you in? If it is Navy, on what date did you submit your application? I ask because I am retired Navy and I submitted my application via email about two weeks ago. I have since confirmed via telephone that CRSC Navy has...

Hello there smitke08, From one fellow VA pensioner to another, if you are legally divorced from your wife and you have not remarried, you need to inform the VA of your change in dependant status. When the VA becomes aware of any dependant changes in the future, they will do the calculations...

Thanks again, Ron! Based on all of what you have shared with me, I am going to simply fill out the CRSC application attached with all of my evidence and let the DFAS chips fall where they may. All the best, John

Hello again Ron, I have another question for you, Sir. I am technically rated at 160% disabled with the VA (retro back to separation date in 1993 about three years after my discharge) of which all are combat-related. Of course, as you and I both know, a veteran such as myself can only receive...

Roger that, and thanks again, Ron! I can see you are responding to many of us here (as well as on the "Veterans Benefits Network") and I thank you for giving us your time and expertise. With the hopes of benefiting other vets following along in this thread, I will send in my CRSC application...

Thanks for your help, Ron. I truly appreciate it. This is so confusing for me to wrap my head around. When you say in 2017 dollars, does that mean the $735 is in 1993 dollars? How do I calculate for longevity? Thanks a bunch, John

Hi Ron! I am a retired Navy Gulf War veteran. I served in ground combat during that war. Below, I have typed out my personal situation with the hopes you may be able to help me understand what I may expect (if anything) from the CRSC benefit. I only became aware of this benefit about a...
