Holding

The CRSC—a statute providing “combat-related special compensation” to qualifying veterans who have suffered combat-related disabilities, see 10 U. S. C. §1413a—confers authority to settle CRSC claims and thus displaces the settlement procedures and limitations period under the Barring Act, 31 U. S. C. §3702.
