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.
