Concurrent Retired Disability Pay and Combat Related Special Compensation

Question:

I recently learned that I qualified for Concurrent Retired Disability Pay (CRDP) as well as Combat Related Special Compensation (CRSC).  Defense Finance and Accounting (DFAS) had continued sending me letters to choose between the two, you can only receive one "not both."  After making contacts with VA OIG, VA Hotline, ask mypay with "NO" help, I met with my Congressman Military Representative for help. It is now in work to receive 12 Years of CRDP. 

As of 2004,  the CRDP entitlement changed and the new change can be found on the mypay Retired website under CRSC and CRDP.
