Background: 60% PDRL (blue card), 100% VA, 70% CRSC recently, under 20 years. Appreciate in advance. I already buy back paid fully 1st year as a GS back in 2018 but now I just got this new CRSC retroactive decision this week. For the sake of me being able to keep the CRCS monthly pays & Tricare...

I already did the buyback paid fully 1st year as a GS back in 2018 but now I just got this new CRSC retroactive decision this week. For the sake of me being able to keep the CRCS monthly pays & Tricare benefit even after FERS retirement later, should I: A) Go back to USPDA requesting to change...

@SFC H So when the CRSC recipient fails to prove this to FERS (OPM) at the time they start their FERS retirement process, will OPM then report to DFAS to then stop the CRSC checks to stop & forfeit and ONLY left the retiree with FERS monthly checks?

so just the CRSC approval alone will not be good enough for OPM/FERS? the PDRL Retirement Order or LOD that was part of the PEBLO IDES process MUST show Armed Conflict/Combat evidence for FERS to NOT interrupt the DoD & CRCS monthly pay?

When you separate 1 & 2 like this, are you saying one medical retiree who is a GS bought back time only need to be PDRL and not necessarily need CRCS to keep both benefits at the time of FERS pension payout? Maybe I’m now more confuse. Background about my PDRL: 2017 med board PDRL but was found...

about that page (picture you posted), is the 10 USC..Chapt 1223 the same as CRSC? I wish it says CRSC in the paragraph to be easier to understand. just trying to clarify that the vets/civ only need 1 condition to be CRSC approved in order to keep BOTH benefits ("double dip") in the future when...

Opinion: this is such a big decision & can affect the vet's future big time, but no forms on DFAS nor OPM mention this as a disclosure. Also very few HR or DFAS personnel warns or advises the veteran who just starting or starting the Buy Back inquiry.

Quick summary from everyone input & rule of thumb for less than 20 mil years : Blue Card (Med Mil ret) AND with CRSC= Yes, do Buy Back asap vs. Blue Card (Med Mil ret) but NO CRSC= No, Do Not do Buy Back (yet*). CRSC decision is the main key here that determines whether your current ongoing...

The decision letter uses "PEB stated disability is not combat-related" for the denial. I'm not sure what else besides 'Buddy Statement letter" I can contact former soldier to make it count as "Simulated War". The LOD I received mention my injury is from when I move the casualty dummie for the...

Thank you, Yes i'm now Ch 61 (blue card holder) but have less than 20 years. Though I'm still within the 6 years rule, I now have a chance with reconsideration (CRSC 12e form). The decision letter uses "PEB stated disability is not combat-related" for the denial. I'm not sure what else besides...
