Should veterans and retirees be "Triple Dipping?"

I'm rated at 70% but paid 100% unemployable due to PTSD anxiety attacks I can only work 9hrs a week before anxieties begin to hit me and loose temper. I also collect SSID for same conditions.. with Bill's I have I still CAN'T make ends meet.. I have a home based business repairing computers in my town I get 1 or 2 calls every 3 or 4 months, I gave a cotton candy machine I use at fairs - they come once a year..and you don't make much... I DON'T have retirement, my wife has medical issues, so if this is triple dipping in order to survive then so be it.. I served in combat, I served this country, I've worked my ass of I EARNED this.. I would have than self medicating or becoming on of the 22 a day (I've come close on several occasions). I ache all over I have nightmares. I have fellow vets they work for the government they have their retirement and their spouse have excellent pay and benefits.. I don't and I'm looked at as undeserving because I'm a POG I was medical and not throwing lead downrange.. I'm treated poorly by these same vets.. so for me they can take a hike.. I no longer care what people think.. we are all vets we all served many were downrange and we all have our demons from it... don't complain about vets that qualify for something you don't..we are trying to survive.... end if file...

All you whiney bitches need to STFU and mind your GD business....sound like a bunch of Liberal fuckem crybabies. Work on your own lifes. Its amazing what happens when people mind their own business.

You could be the most pog Air Force reserve and you still signed your life away to go fight and die for your family friends and country men. Congress can serve one term of four years(standard enlistment is four years active four years inactive reserve) show up one time, if that, in their four year term and get a 6 figure salary and benefits for life. You want my opinion it should be reversed if you served especially in combat you should get a 6 figure salary. So yes take what you can get brothers you’ve earned it far more than everyone else who’s collecting.

If you qualify for these benefits and actually earned them I say go for it . This is a stupid question and I wish I wouldn't have wasted time answering it .Next time you have a question put some intelligence into it .

I triple dip 30 federal employee, 36 miltary reserves, SS disability sounds great right ?

I worry all the time if the government will be able to continue paying me or if they just change the rules ... Im screwed . looking for bettercways to invest and diverse

Politicans pull it off

I'm 36, and I'm a post 9/11 veteran. I was in basic when the towers fell. I now suffer from Anxiety, PTSD, and Bipolar Depression. Every day I go to sleep with my back and knees on fire, and wake up the same. It takes every ounce of willpower not to drink myself into a stupor every day. I am on Total and Permanent unemployable disability. I try to keep myself distracted by any means necessary to keep thoughts of suicide out of my head. Do I feel like a burden on the system? Yes, every fucking day. I fight myself every day to realize I did what was best for my family and my health.

I'm a retired 1SG 23yrs Active, 100% Disabled, before concurrent receipt was passed into law the VA disability system just didn't make sense. Example: an E3 with 1.5 years of service rated at 80% would make the same retirement that an E7 with 20yrs and 80% disabled . Not fair to flush the E7s pension down the drain. I'm not familiar with the term triple dipping, but one things for sure. I earned my Army pension.

I am retired with 23 years. I have had multiple back surguries that were not successful. I have days I cannot get out of bed. I can't walk without a bad limp. I have bad migraines. Severe joint pain. Dizziness. Ptsd. Bleeding ulcers. Messed up feet. Had my pelvis cracked in 2 places. And that is not all. I retired. Claimed va benefits and rated at 100%. I tried to work. I could not with all the pain. I also get SSDI. I earned all 3. I am NOT triple dipping. I am claiming and getting what I EARNED AND PAID FOR. if people don't like it let them do what I have done. And get what I have.

After doing 20+ years and all the combat tours getting injured i think triple dipping is the least they can do
