CRSC for mental condition
Has anyone had trouble getting CRSC for a mental condition? I'm a Chapter 61 vet that was retired for Anxiety Disorder/Mild Agoraphobia. The VA rated me at 30% for this condition. I have sent in (what...

I was grounded for my depression/bipolar and was denied CRSC, so yes they do deny it CRSC for Psych conditions that cannot be shown to have a cause directly attributable to a specific job/event. If...

They are kind of funny about that; they gave me 70% combat related for PTSD but they didn't approve the TBI which was received from a mortar attack. I am currently fighting the TBI rating and lack of...

CRSC for a psych condition ios pretty limited to actual (not support) operations involving direct combat. You said you took part in the missions? Now, I can imagine if you were an F-111 pilot or WSO,...

I guess they don't see the connection between being a crewchief on an Aardvark and combat related anxiety.
View ArticleRe: CRSC for mental condition
I know this wojn't be a poplular answer, but what "direct combat" is a non-flying crew chief (on any aircraft) involved in? You have to remember that the "C" in Combat Related is just that. Now, we...

The part I deleted from my original post above should clarify my position. I originally also said "And I'm not sure I see it either." Having been chastised in the past for too much honesty I was...

Guys, I agree with Varkchief. He came here looking for an answer to an honest question and did not deserve the kind of answers/slams he got. I did not get an impression that he is trying to scam the...

So Brian, we should feed what appears to be an unrealistic expectation? While it may seem "combat realated" to him it does not to the Air Force, and quite frankly, not to me either. As I said before,...

Look, Varkchief...when I said "brass ring", I intended to show that somethimes a rating is as good as it is gonna get, period. How many times have we heard, "appeal, appeal, appeal"??? Somtines all...

I didn't read anything inappropriate (with regard to both the question and the resulting answers). I understand the "brass ring" concept very well since I am rated at 40% (too low for CRDP) and it's...

CPT CAVEMAN, Welcome to VBN. It seems highly unlikely. Why don't you start your own thread in the CRSC forum and post your pay grade, length of service (3.5 yrs?), DoD disability rating. It will be a...

I would think your DoD LOS based retirement would be around $1,500/month. To get to$5,000 total, you would need a 100% VA plus some additional SMC's. Even with a lower VA amount, I could see your tax...
