Should veterans and retirees be "Triple Dipping?"

American that earn their retirement no matter how many have the right to their retirement, and those against should step up and do the same. My Mother's solution was if bad in the morning One spanking, if bad again another spanking and so on, you earned it.

Even with those stipulations, it should be, I think, a fairly short list of people who qualify. Making more as a retiree vice being on active duty should be very much the exception and not the rule.

Let's remember that disabled does not equal unemployable.

I never understand the narrative that someone shouldn't get something they have earned because its not fair to those who have not earned it. If they have done the time and been authorized it they should get what they are due. It seems to me the people that are complaining about this are the ones that never took any risks. The small portion of Vets that receive the earned item probable need it most. So why begrudge them their due?

It's not very much money and you'd have to be pretty messed up to get the whole shebang. But if the question is should you make more when retired than you made on active duty, look no further than your senior officers who've got a pretty sweet retirement set up and allows them to make more retired than when active - and that's ALL of them, not some small number of messed up enlisted guys.

Sounds to me like someone applied and was turned down and is now upset about it

If the person deserves it then why would it be a big deal? Next thing they will be griping about is how ble amputees are screwing the system by requesting wheelchairs from the VA. It isn't any of my business what piece of pie or how big of slice of pie someone else has.

People in legislation do it and draw over $100000 a year.it's legal for them. You all earned get it

A different type is to retire, collect disability and become a government service worker (usually some ridiculously inflated gs rank like a non-supervisory GS-14 like I've seen). Over $100k/year with no management or supervisory responsibilities? Sounds like a good deal to the taxpayer...

I don't there is just a thing as tripple dipping, if you retired, you get your retirement check, if you get a medical discharge you get the percentage you deserved, but no va compensation because you get a medical discharge, if you are disable you might get social security because at this time you had made enough contributions, now if you are 100 percent compesation, you are disable therefore you are eligible for SS, and your retirement, nevertheless is not tripple dipping because you earned those credits.
