Thanks for the reply, but how does rank factor into CRSC and what is VA offset? I think, but don’t know for sure, VA offset is one of those elusive terms often used to describe retirement pay that is forfeited because the VA disability pay is higher. I guess some retirees get more retirement pay...

If my DOD% was higher, would my high 3 be higher and possibly increase my CRSC pay? Playing with and lowering the DOD% in the calculator sure is confusing and makes it look like a Chapter 61 is better off with a lower DOD%. It may better to mention this problem in the description instead of...

Sorry you took offense. But rather than repost all of the same information on this thread, I provided a link to a post about my situation and I was hoping you would look at the thread I started and answer my question there

I believe you about the CRSC calculator. It seems the problem is dividing by a higher DOD yields a lower CRSC. If the formula for determining CRSC multiplied by DOD%, the opposite would happen and the CRSC amount would increase as the severity of the disability that caused the medical retirement...

I already have a post about my situation on the forum Can someone help me with a CRSC estimate?

Why does the CRSC amount go down when the DOD goes up? I would get more CRSC with a 30% DOD than I would a with a 40%. Logic dictates the higher the DOD, the more CRSC a chapter 61 medical retiree would get. But the calculator says otherwise. Is this a mistake in the program?

I went to the COLA historical chart and multiplied the $1045 by the COLA amount from each year from 1999 to 2025 and my amount increased to $2109. That doubles my orginal amount. DFAS probably never bothered to update the amount because it never mattered. I have not followed the amount over the...

Since you are a genius, will you please write calculator that multiplies an old high 3 estimate by the COLA for every year in a formula? The amounts of COLA change every year as you already know.

I think I found the $1045! Add $1354 $1395, & $1434; the E-4 pay rates for 1996, ’97, ’98, and it comes to $4183, the high 3, and then multiply by 25% (10 years x 2.5%) and it equals $1045. Using the same formula with modern pay rates, my RAS amount would be $2394. Once the high three is...

I have more questions that answers :)

I guess there is no way I can calculate my CRSC because my CRSC amount is based on my pay was 27 years ago. It looks like the base pay for an E-4 in 1998 was $1434 compared to $3675. That is a $2241 difference in pay. Since the high 3 mandates using the last 36 months of pay, I am screwed...

What are you talking about? What says current pay? The calculator? The calculator at crsc calculator | crsc clearly states "Current Retired DOD Pay (Total before any Offset from VA Pay, can be found on MyPay site labeled as "Gross Pay"):" So the calculator mentions both current retired DOD pay...

The SSN, bank information, and the address is changed to prevent identity theft, but otherwise all of the other information is legit as printed from DFAS. I figured the too many girlfriends would give it away! Thanks for the reply and the estimate. Why does the calculator say my amount is more...

Can someone help me with a CRSC estimate? I medically retired in 1998, which is 27 years ago, and I have no idea what the high 3 is. I served in the Navy for 10 years; all active duty with NO reserve time, and Chapter 61 retired as an E-4. I was retired at 40% DOD and I am 100% P&T with the VA...

Is someone able or capable of taking a look at my Navy CRSC application before I send it to Washington Yard, Washington DC? It is 21 pages + the 5 page DD2860. It is a PACT Act presumptive for a 60% asthma so it should be pretty simple. I can send two separate .pdf files in a PM. Thanks, Shimaze
