The Court held that the Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC) statute confers authority to settle CRSC claims and thus displaces the Barring Act's settlement procedures and limitations period. The Court found that the CRSC statute creates a separate settlement mechanism that authorizes the Secretary concerned to determine both the validity of CRSC claims and the amount due on them, thereby constituting "another law" that displaces the Barring Act's default procedures, including its 6-year limitations period.
