Details
Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay (CRDP) lets retirees with a VA disability rating of 50% or higher receive BOTH full retirement pay AND full VA disability compensation simultaneously, no offset. Before CRDP, every dollar of VA disability reduced retirement pay dollar-for-dollar. Now: 50%+ rated retirees get both checks every month.
Restrictions
Automatic, no application; DFAS calculates if you qualify based on your VA letter. Taxable income (unlike CRSC which is tax-free). Stack with TFL at 65 + FEDVIP dental + commissary/exchange/MWR access, retiree-with-disability is one of the highest-value benefit configurations in the federal government. Rating mechanics live in TAPS:VA.
