Should veterans and retirees be "Triple Dipping?"

Well I guess that I am a "Quadruple dipper" ,. I receive retired military pay at 52.5 percent (21 years), 60 percent pay from VA for disability, and I did 20 plus years for AF Civil Service, and I now draw my Social Security.
If you REALLY want to know, I feel that I am underpaid for what I endured.

I draw my military retirement. I am 90% disabled by VA. I still make it to work every weekday. I will draw my retirement from my govt job. I will also draw my ssa benefits if any still exist So is that quadruple dipping? I think I have put in the time blood sweat and tears to qualify for it all.

These people are often those who have been seriously wounded and can no longer work. They have given all they have for their country and believe me they wont get rich from that extra 1200 a month. They definitely deserve it.

From post-Civil War until earlier this century, retired veterans had their retirement benefits offset by the amount of their VA disability compensation, as an individual could not collect both ("double dipping").
It took a long time and much work for the Veterans Service Organizations and those grpups representing retirees to get the law changed. That it was finally changed is because it was the right thing to do. A disabled vet should receive all benefits to which he is entitled, from whatever program for which he is eligible, without reduction or offset.

Not making more then you earned is absurd !!! In the late 90’s early 2000 so guys we’re making 7k a year at least in the Marines not count all the time you train and don’t sleep it’s like 2cents a hour!! Me and a few broke down our off time to training and missions and it’s awful the pay!! Then you get shipped out need to pay for calls that are a absurd rate!! May be different now but back then no bueno

If you don't believe we deserve that and more with what politicians make without disabilities you're on drugs!!

I don't meet all the requirements due to being honorably medically discharged with only 12 yrs in. So i dont qualify for retirement, yet my body is so f'ed up that they are allowing me to collect my 50% and receive ssd, and just found out that i have cancer due to exposure from last deployment in 2003. If they can get it i say do what needs done. We deserve all we get.

They are your benefits, you earned them. Its no different than a person who does his 20 gets a pension, gets a gs rated job works another 10 years and gets a second pension.

Reservist with right at 17 “Good Years” at 80% VA, and waiting for the VA Board Appeal which will most likely push me to 100%. I’m a “Gray Line Reservist”

Outside I work as a Homicide Detective, but I only have 22 years and need 25 to qualify for Retirement.

Due to my Severe TBI, I now have Sezuires and am required to take Meds to Control them. I also have a myriad of other residules that have came along with this TBI.

PD is nervous about me carrying a weapon, and on Seizure Control Meds, so they might “Retire” me before I qualify for Pension. So instead of 65% immediately, I’ll get 40%-45% at 55 years old. I’m 45 years old.

The Navy Med Board might keep me dragging along long enough for the 18 year window. Then I won’t Retire until my 20 which means now pay until 57 years old at a fraction of the Active Duty % that I would have gotten.

I am a Single Dad of 3.

Triple Dip, within the rules, if possible.

To be rated that bad, you got seriously effed up. You'll need every penny.
