Hello @Xavirgsi1231

A. Retired pay is reduced to zero due to amount of VA compensation.
B. 2455/75%. = 3273 high three
C. 8 years AD x 2% = 16 % longevity multiplier
D. 3273 x 16% = 523.68 longevity portion of retired pay
E. CRSC based on the info you provided: 523.68

Excellent job in collecting the necessary information.

In regards to CRSC pay, does it matter if you have dependents? The VA knows that I have a spouse and 2 children but DFAS has me listed as being single. Would my CRSC payment change if DFAS updates my dependent status?
 
It depends.

If you are receiving the longevity portion of your retired pay as CRSC, it will make no difference.

If you are receiving the CRSC percentage amount, then it could make a difference.

What does your CRSC approval letter show?

My CRSC approval letter states "Total Combat Related Disability is 90%"

Sorry, I forgot the CRSC document does not show number of dependents; at least mine does not.

You said, "...but DFAS has me listed as being single." That is probably for tax purposes. My once-a-year DFAS RAS shows 5 dependents, but that was only for taxes when I was tinkering with the amount of taxes being deducted when I received CRDP several years ago.

How many years of active duty equivalent did you have? I am attempting to determine which you will receive:
Longevity amount
OR
Amount in VA comp tables

I suspect the correct number of dependents is in DEERS and DFAS will use that info. Just a guess on my part.

I served on active duty for 9 years. I retired as a SSG. I am currently getting CSRC at 80% but I was just approved for 90%. That is when I noticed that I am getting paid as being single.
My current retirement pay would be $904 but I am 100% VA so I do not receive retirement pay.

Thank you for your time and help

The following comments are based on the limited info available.

If you are receiving 80% CRSC without dependents, your CRSC would be: 1,778.43

You are likely receiving the longevity portion of your retired pay as CRSC.
Nine years AD x 2.5% = 22.5% longevity multiplier
Average high three base pay x 22.5% = longevity portion of retired pay, that appears with the info available, to be your CRSC amount

If you are receiving the longevity portion of retired pay as CRSC, 90% will not increase it. The only increases you will be COLAs.

The fact that your dependents might be recorded incorrectly has no bearing at this time on the CRSC. Actually, never, because in a case like yours, the longevity portion is a ceiling forever, except for COLLA increases.

Generally, a disability retiree will receive CRSC that is the LESSER of
--longevity portion of retired pay
OR
--the amount for the approved CRSC percentage found in the VA comp tables.

My current CRSC pay at 80% is $650. Where did you get the figure of $1778.48?

Collection of CRSC information LINK <—-

It was from the VA compensation tables for 80%. Please note that I did not say you would receive that amount.

I did offer:

--longevity portion of retired pay
OR
--the amount for the approved CRSC percentage found in the VA comp tables.

You said: "My current CRSC pay at 80% is $650." Obviously, you are receiving the longevity amount. The number of dependents or a higher percentage approved for CRSC
will not increase that ceiling. Only COLA increases...
