What is CRSC?
CRSC may entitle you to additional funds which are designed to
compensate you for the reduction of your military retired pay due
to the receipt of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) compensation
(also known as the VA waiver's). With CRSC, you can receive either
partial or full concurrent receipt of your military retirement pay
and your VA disability compensation.

How is the amount of my CRSC
Calculated?
We pay CRSC based on the combined disability rating of
combat-related disabilities as determined by your branch of
service. Additionally, only combat-related disabilities for which
you actually receive Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
compensation will be considered.
Use the following formula to obtain your combined VA rating of
multiple combat-related disabilities:
(1)
Subtract each disability percent from 100% to obtain the remaining
efficiencies.
(2) Multiply the remaining efficiencies together.
(3) Subtract the result from 100%.
(4) Round to the nearest 10%, round up for 5% or above.
Example: Using three disabilities of
50%, 40% and 30%
(1)
[100 - 50 = 50%] / [100 - 40 = 60%] / [100 - 30 = 70%]
(2) 50% x 60% x 70% = 21%
(3) 100% - 21% = 79%
(4) 79% rounds up to an 80% combined disability.
