I am a medically retired Marine with 15.5 years. I was retired in 2006. I was under the impression that you had to have done 20 years in order to be eligible or meet a portion of the criteria for CRSC. I am 100% total and permanent. I was rewarded 30% for knee injury by Medical Evaluation Board and retired, due to an injury simulating war games. I also participated in Operation Uphold Democracy in Haiti and suffer from PTSD and depression as a result of bagging bodies as a result of a skirmish with one of our line companies.
Questions:
Upon filling out the claim do I file for just the 30% for my knee, or do I include all of the things (PTSD and Depression) secondary (back pain) due to knee injuries etc...
I am trying to seek information or help with filing this claim.
