Combat Related Special Compensation

Question:

Jim, I'm P and T via the VA . The Army retired me at 80% disabled at 20 years for pay and 8 years active and reserve time (2880ish points toward retirement). My orders say YES this occurred as a result of war. I'm a retired senior Army SF E-7. I never filed for CRSC. Do you think I qualify? If so how will they calculate this. Everywhere I look is different. Thanks!

Jim's Reply:

Combat Related Special Compensation (CRSC) isn't hard to file for and it's all explained here Yes, I believe you should apply, although I can't predict whether that will be approved.
