There is one CRSC application, one reconsideration request, and a couple of forms that get you the records to back them up. Here is the whole set, current as of the August 2026 form updates, with a plain-English note on when you need each one.

Which forms do you actually need?
| Your situation | What to file |
|---|---|
| Never applied for CRSC | DD Form 2860, with your DD-214, VA rating decision and the evidence for each combat-related condition |
| Denied, or approved for less than you expected | DD Form 3210 reconsideration request, with new and substantive evidence |
| Approved, but the VA has since rated an additional condition, raised an approved rating, or awarded SMC | DD Form 3210 reconsideration request, checking the box that fits (it has separate boxes for additional conditions, an adjusted percentage and SMC), with the new VA rating decision. Confirm your branch's current form first; the Army has historically used its own Form 12e. See adding new or increased VA ratings after approval. |
| Missing records to prove it | SF 180 first, then the CRSC form once the records arrive |
| The record itself is wrong and the board already said no | DD Form 149, to your branch's correction board |
Your branch decides every CRSC claim: Army HRC, the Navy CRSC Board for Navy and Marine Corps, AFPC for Air Force and Space Force, and Coast Guard PSC. Confirm the current mailing address or portal on your branch's official CRSC page before you send anything. For block-by-block help, see our DD Form 2860 guide.

Where do I download DD Form 2860?
The current edition is dated AUG 2026. You can get it from the official DoD forms site or in the free Standfast CRSC forms kit on this page, along with the DD Form 3210 reconsideration request and the SF 180 records request.
Why does DD Form 2860 only show a "please wait" message?
The fillable edition is a dynamic (XFA) PDF. Save it to your computer and open it in free Adobe Acrobat Reader. Browser PDF viewers and most phone apps cannot display it. The print copy in the kit opens anywhere.
What is DD Form 3210?
DD Form 3210, dated August 2026, is the official CRSC reconsideration request. It is used when you were denied or want a decision reconsidered, and it should go in with new and substantive evidence.
Do I need an SSN on the new DD Form 2860?
The AUG 2026 edition asks for your DoD ID number, found on the back of your Common Access Card or retiree ID, instead of your Social Security number.
