Does anyone know anything about Combat Related Special Compensation (CRSC) and reserve retirement?

SFC William Farrell — Fri, 30 Dec 2016 20:40:41 -0500

Reason I am asking is I am 100% VA disability with aReserve retirement, four years active and 22 Reserves. I have a 50% disability rating from the VA for PTSD, combat related. Not sure what it would do for me and whether it is worth applying for. Thanks for any input.

This is the DOD order on it. It basically says if you're drawing retired pay and otherwise qualify, then you get it. I'm not a reservist, but you guys don't get to draw retirement to 62 or so, right?
I just started getting mine today so it is great if and when you qualify.

I don't know about reserve retirement but the "golden rule" is to always apply for everything. But there are several FB groups for this thing (veteran benefits) and they are run by some incredibly smart people. Let me know if you need the group names (but I'm sure a simple search will work). You should post this question in there as well.
