DISCONTINUE THE OFFSET OF VA DISABILITY FOR RETIREES THAT RECEIVE < THAN 50% AND ALLOW THEM TO RECEIVE THEIR FULL CHECK

Created by K.D. on May 30, 2013

Concurrent Receipt Overview
"Qualified disabled military retirees will now get paid both their full military retirement pay and their VA disability compensation. This recently passed law phases out (over 9 years) the VA disability offset, which means that military retirees with 20 or more years of service and a 50% (or higher) VA rated disability will no longer have their military retirement pay reduced by the amount of their VA disability compensation."

20 year military retirees with any percentage rated disability of 1% and higher should receive a seperate check for their disabikity and not have their retiree check offset. However, non retirees actually benefit from their disability ratings because they are allowed to get a check regardless of what their rating maybe. This is unfair
