Benefits Retitred GW Veterans

There can be no more excuses for not passing full Concurrent Receipt

of Military Retired Pay!"

What I'm referring to is a law that since 2004 allows military

retirees with 20 or more years of service and a Veterans Affairs

rated disability of 50% or higher to receive their VA Disability

Compensation and their retired pay without any offsetting

deductions. Prior to that 2004 law all military retirees had their

military retired pay reduced by any amount of disability

compensation they received.

What the we has been fighting for is for any

disabled military retiree, regardless of the percentage of

disability awarded should be treated in the same manner as those in the 50% to 100% disability range.
