How will my Special Compensation for Certain Severely Disabled Retirees (SCSD) (i.e. “old special compensation”) be affected?
SCSD payments expired on 31 December 2003 since the first increment of concurrent receipt will be bigger than SCSD for all recipients. SCSD was paid to retirees with at least 20 years of Regular service who incurred VA disability ratings of 60% or higher within 4 years after retiring. This was modest compensation (for those rated 100% is was $325 a month; 90% was $225; down to $50 for 60% ratings.
