EANGUS is proud to support S. 1147, The Retired Pay Restoration Act that was recently introduced by Chairman Jon Tester and Senator Lisa Murkowski.
This legislation corrects the gross injustice for #servicemembers and #veterans who are not currently entitled to receive both retired pay and disability pay concurrently.
Military retired pay and VA disability pay are two separate benefits with two separate purposes. A veteran should not have to forfeit a portion of pay they have earned simply because of a service-connected disability.
S. 1147 corresponds to a companion piece of legislation, HR. 303, which was recently introduced in the House of Representatives.
We ask Congress to quickly pass this legislation and to provide our Servicemembers and Veterans with the proper compensation they deserve.
