Let鈥檚 be truthful about the Take Care of America鈥檚 Veterans Act. Saying it would double pay for combat-injured veterans across the board is misleading.
For those of us medically retired before 20 years of service, the bill caps the military retired pay we can receive alongside VA disability compensation at the equivalent of a 20-year retirement. For some of us with DoD disability ratings of 60% or higher, that could leave part of our earned retirement pay unpaid.
Thank You @timburchett for all of your hard work & keeping us informed of what the heck is going on up there馃馃徏
Tim, i realize this is not your fault, but the TCAVA does NOT include the original Major Richard Star Act, it includes a modified version that caps benefits, and also cuts $57 billion dollars from future injured veterans disability compensation to fund other parts of the bill.
It鈥檚 a crap bill.
And I say this as a chapter 61 medically retired veteran that will benefit from the TCAVA.
Its a political game that was drafted to move money around to make it look like the government was doing something, while actually accomplishing an overall net loss to disabled veterans compensation
