Eliminate Concurrent Receipt Of Retirement Pay And Disability Compensation For Disabled Veterans
Rate this question
Question

Does anyone on here have knowledge or information on the likelihood of concurrent receipt being eliminated? I read an article about the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) considering eliminating concurrent receipt being paid to veterans who have retired with 20 or more years; and receives disability pay will no longer receive disability pay if approved. I find this to be very disturbing considering how hard most veterans had to fight to get this earned benefit. I posted the article link below. Any insight would be helpful.

I don't think this is likely to happen. The back lash for any politician that brings this up would be political suicide. But, it pays to be forewarned so you can be fore armed.
