- Medically retired veterans with less than 20 years of service are only eligible for the concurrent receipt program called Combat Related Special Compensation (CRSC).
- Act passage would enable combat injured veterans the option of receiving either Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay (CRDP) or CRSC whichever makes them “more whole.”
