And Congress Doesn’t work for us, and hasn’t for the Last 75 Years!!!
The repayment orders are because of a little-known law that Congress AUTHORIZED in 1949, which prohibits veterans from receiving both the separation payout and disability payments
The United States military has offered incentives to service members who were slightly injured on duty, to leave service when it needed to downsize its active-duty forces
Disabled veterans have had to repay those incentives in order to receive disability compensation, and have repaid at least $2.5 billion collectively so far
The VA said it is legally obligated to recover the separation payouts before they can send those veterans their monthly disability stipend. $364 million still needs to be recouped
