Retiree Combat Compensation Expanded
Week of May 12, 2008
The 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) expanded combat-related compensation eligibility to include certain medical retirees with less than 20 years of service and a combat-related VA disability rating of 10 percent or greater. Retired veterans must still provide documentation that shows a relationship between a current VA disability and a combat related event. To receive Combat Related Special Compensation (CRSC), submit your application (DD form 2860) through your parent military service branch. For more information, visit the Military.com Benefits CRSC section.
