I'm currently pending a MEB that's ready to be sent to the PEB. I've sat down with my PEB and was told that for my condition under the VASRD, I'm looking at 60% from the Army in the case of medically retired. The thing I'm having trouble digesting is that my skin condition was aggravated severely by deployment to Iraq. My concern is that I didn't have any documentation stating that it had worsen for the time I was deployed. My question is, will my orders or any documentation be suffice enough to put me in the CRSC category? Awaiting your response?

    I have 18 active duty years in the military and is pending a PEB. My skin disease was worsen/aggravated due to Iraq deployment. Will the 60% of my medical retired pay be taxed?

    Jampony72,

    Under the facts you described, yes. Combat-related, for purposes of CRSC does not mean that your condition was incurred/aggravated in a combat-zone. It must be caused as a direct result of combat, training for combat, extra-hazardous duty, or by an instrumentality of war. If, for example, your condition was caused by exposure to burning chemical munitions, then this should qualify for Combat-related status (under an instrumentality of war theory). Here is a link to more information: http://www.pebforum.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=26

    If you can continue to serve and want to, you may want to consider requesting COAD status after an unfit finding. This would get you to 20 years of service and qualify you for Concurrent Retired and Disability Pay.

    Hope all goes well for you.

    What is your MOS and how does the skin disease affects your duties?
