How long does it take to receive a decision on my CRSC application?

The length of time it takes to receive a decision on your Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC) application can vary. Generally, the processing time ranges from a few weeks to several months. Several factors can influence the timeframe, including the complexity of your case and the volume of applications being processed at the Department of Defense. Additionally, accuracy and completeness of your application documentation can impact processing speed. It is important to ensure all required forms and supporting documents are included to avoid delays. While there is no definitive timeline, the CRSC program aims to process applications as efficiently as possible to provide timely decisions and benefits to qualified military personnel.
