Kassie, I will have to correct you...You can in fact collect a VA rating of 100% and 100% CRSC. As well CRDP if your VA rating is 100%. You cannot however collect both CRSC AND CRDP..... Be aware that CRDP is "Taxable" and CRSC is NOT...better benefit, if your percentage is high. To all, once you start the process do not stop! Do not miss a filing date, make all appointments, read the entirety of any paperwork you recieve. The biggest mistake one can make is missing a filling or appeal date, it stops your process beginning date and then you start over.....
Understand comments like "you have sixty days from the date of this letter or the remainder of a year from the decision date" or words to that effect...This will get you if you don't pay attention.....reason is the original decision date may be closer than you think (as in the remainder of the year) because of multiple letters recieved, just pay attention.....To all good luck, CSM-H (Former DAV NSO)

Just wanted to ensure you all knew of this program because you've certainly earned the benefits it provides!
