Can I receive CRSC if I am already receiving other military benefits?
Yes, it is possible to receive Combat Related Special Compensation (CRSC) even if you are already receiving other military benefits. CRSC is specifically designed to supplement other military benefits for veterans who have combat-related disabilities. It provides additional compensation based on the level of disability and the member's years of service. Benefits such as retirement pay, disability retirement pay, and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) disability compensation do not affect eligibility for CRSC. However, there are certain criteria that must be met to qualify for CRSC, including having a minimum percentage of disability caused by combat-related injuries. It is crucial to consult the CRSC program guidelines and your VA representative to determine your eligibility for this additional compensation alongside other military benefits.
