What is Combat Related Special Compensation (CRSC)?

Combat Related Special Compensation (CRSC) is a program designed to provide financial assistance to eligible military personnel who have been injured as a direct result of combat actions or are in receipt of certain types of military retirement pay. CRSC is different from other compensation programs such as Veterans Affairs (VA) disability benefits as it focuses specifically on compensating veterans for combat-related injuries or illnesses. This program aims to bridge the gap between retired pay and compensation received from the VA, ensuring that military retirees receive appropriate compensation for their combat-related disabilities. CRSC is a valuable resource that assists veterans in mitigating financial hardships and recognizing their sacrifices to the nation.
