RonG - I appreciate your post regarding the Army CRSC, you seem quite knowledgeable...
Question:
Medically retired (Army) in 2017, filed for CRSC in December '17, denied, and filed again in August '18, denied. I'm legitimately baffled as my 199 clearly states V3-Yes for both injuries, simulating war. How can the formal PEB state that the injuries were combat related under the simulating war category and another office deny the very same fact that has already been established?
I've emailed HRC for some clarification, because the denial only says to provide more documentation, but what more do they need? Everything I gave the PEB is everything I gave the CRSC. I understand the next step is the Army Record Correction (149), but I am not seeking to correct anything in my record, it is all right, I'm trying to correct the CRSC knuckleheads.
Lastly, I emailed a lawyer that I worked with during my MEB/PEB and she told me that the DoD is aware of the issue that servicemembers are being denied CRSC with V3 on their 199 - what needs to change for the Army to get on the same page? Congressman? Donald Duck? Who?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
