When submitting your Combat Related Special Compensation (CRSC) application, there are a few essential documents you need to include. Firstly, you should provide a copy of your most recent Retiree Account Statement or equivalent retirement pay statement. Additionally, include all medical documents relating to your combat-related injuries or disabilities. This includes medical records, diagnoses, and treatment histories from military and civilian healthcare providers. If available, include any official documents that explicitly mention the combat-related event causing your injuries. Pay attention to any separation or retirement orders, Purple Heart certificates, or combat awards. Lastly, include copies of your VA disability rating decision if you have one. Ensuring you include all these pertinent documents will help streamline the processing of your CRSC application and facilitate an efficient evaluation of your eligibility for compensation.
