Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC) & Concurrent Retirement Disability Pay (CRDP) (CRSC) and (CRDP) are programs created by Congress to allow eligible military retirees to receive monthly entitlements in addition to retired pay. The purpose of these entitlements is to recover some or all of the retired pay that military retirees waive for VA disability compensation.
