COMBAT-RELATED SPECIAL COMPENSATION (CRSC)

CRSC is part of a legislative initiative designed to restore a
veteran's military retirement pay that has been offset (reduced) by VA compensation when the veteran's disabilities
are combat-related. CRSC was enacted by Congress through Public Law 107-314, dated 2 December 2002, and later
expanded under Public Law 108-136, dated 24 November 2003. The Air Force Combat-Related Special Compensation
(CRSC) program is managed by the USAF Physical Disability Division of the Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC). The
CRSC Board is made up of former military and civilian personnel whose experiences include war-time duties, flying
duties, and medical training. The review board conducts a detailed analysis of your application to determine if inservice
evidence exists to confirm your conditions were the direct result of a combat-related event or injury. If so, the
Board will authorize a special monthly payment to you called CRSC.
