Hello @brookstedd604

See below hopefully you are able to help compute with the below info provided
Chapter 61 IDES Retire
--The high 3 ($3682) I didn’t use the RAS since im on TDRL currently and I don’t receive retirement
--I was approved for 70% DOD in my medical retirements. (Effective 9/1/2021)
-- I have 1753 Active Duty Points/11 years 6 months 8 days (2463 Total Career Points) After 1753 points the rest of the time in National Huard time
--I receive 100% VA with is $3548.00 I have 2 kids that are under 18 years.
--Approved CRSC-I haven’t been approved for CRSC but CRSC told me to apply due to combat
--I don’t qualify for any other retirement and I did not transition to the Blended Retirement System.
Does CRSC go back to when I was awarded my disability or when the disability occurred which is 2014-2015 timeframe. I was awarded the disability 9/1/2021-curious about retroactive pay if Im authorized)
Estimate based on the info you provided:
1. All your retired pay is waived due to the amount of VA comp received.
2. 11.5 years of active duty per your info x 2.5% = 28.75% longevity multiplier
3. Your stated high three of 3682 x 28.75% = 1058.58 longevity portion of retired pay and CRSC maximum. It could be less if the CRSC percentage approved by your service converts to an amount less than the amount cited here. The CRSC amount for the approved percentage is found in the VA comp tables.
Edited to add: The CRSC approval document will cite the effective date. CRSC can be paid retroactively. CRSC will not be earlier than the effective date of your VA compensation effective date.

a. Even in cases where all of a retiree's military retired pay is reduced to zero due to the amount of VA compensation received, at least one DFAS RAS is produced to reflect the COLA increase and subsequent waiver amount. It can be viewed at DFAS MyPay. I just looked at my copy from 1-31 December 1921.
b. If you high three average base pay (the total of the highest 36 months of pay divided by 36) is 3682 and your Dod disability percentage was 70%, THEN the computation of retired pay was: 3682 x 70% = ~ 2577
c. The amount of VA compensation you receive, 3548 reduces your retired pay to zero.
d. The amount of CRSC for a disability retiree is the lesser of the longevity portion of retired pay OR the percentage and amount in the VA compensation tables that mirrors the approved CRSC percentage. Example: If a retiree had 50% approved by the Army as CRSC and the 50% rate for a veteran and the number of dependents he/she has was 900 (example picked out the air) and his longevity amount was 600, the maximum CRSC payable would be 600.
e. You stated you had 11 years and 6 months of active-duty equivalent.
11.5 years of active duty per your info x 2.5% = 28.75% longevity multiplier
Your stated high three of 3682 x 28.75% = 1058.58 longevity portion of retired pay and CRSC maximum.
If 1058.58 is less than the amount in the VA compensation tables for your approved CRSC percentage, then the 1058.58 is the CRSC payable.
Note: I did not use your points for conversion; I used the 11 years 6 months you stated. Your disability retirement orders will show your precise active duty equivalent 3/4 down the first page as "Disability Retirement."
