Vets’ Commission Chair, General Terry Scott wants to study if vets should get VA disability and Social Security disability at the same time, with the aim of reducing benefits. Currently a vet is eligible for both.
Larry Scott notes: The next step in dismantling veterans’ benefits could be a payment reduction, known as an offset, for veterans receiving disability compensation and Social Security.
The Veterans’ Disability Benefits Commission (VDBC) was established by Public Law 108-136 and signed into being by President Bush in November 2003. The VDBC’s charter states they are to study “whether a veteran’s disability or death should be compensated†and at what level if any.
