VA disability compensation is federally protected from attachment of any kind under USC, Title 38, §5301. The majority of civil court judges do not recognize this Federal law as protection of a veteran’s disability benefits from attachment. Civil Judges routinely make no distinction between military retirement pay and VA disability compensation, and they wrongfully calculate the veteran’s compensation into a divorce settlements. We The People urge the immediate passage and enforcement of the Veterans Disability Protection Act of 2010 (VDPA) as a proposal for the Federal government to give guidance to State Courts and prevent the derogation of military disability benefits. This bill will exclude any portion of the veteran’s military disability pay from the adjudication of any claim.
