If you get out due to a medical discharge, like I did, and then file for V.A. Disability Compensation and get awarded a disability percentage, you have to pay back whatever stipend the military paid you. In my case, I got a $36K payout and had to pay all of that back monthly, until it was paid back. The V.A. awarded me 60%, so for the better part of 5 yrs, I only received about $456 out of the original $1200/mth a 60% disability "award" paid out at the time (this was back in 2004), until all $36K I got from the Navy was paid back to the Fed Govt. They called it "double dipping."

The commie Demonrats hate women and veterans.
This makes me literally sick. Veterans continue to be abused by these bs government decisions.
Invasion from within.
Time to rip off the bandaid, totally gut this corrupt government and form a more perfect union
Amen.
Criminal! They can pay for food, housing health care, education of illegals, but take away what is rightly the veterans’ benefits!
EXACTLY.
