A long-standing federal policy continues to reduce retirement pay for tens of thousands of combat-injured veterans, prompting renewed calls for congressional action. The policy affects service members who are medically retired and eligible for both military retirement pay and Veterans Affairs disability compensation. Under current law, veterans must forfeit a portion of their military retirement pay if they receive VA disability benefits. This is a requirement supporters of reform often refer to as the “Wounded Veteran Tax.” #voiceforveterans #military
