Support Benefits for Disabled Veterans

There are over 50,000 medically retired veterans with combat injuries who are being denied their full retirement and VA disability pay. Currently, only veterans who have served 20 or more years and have VA disability ratings of 50 percent or greater can receive both payments in full.

The Major Richard Star Act (H.R. 2102/S. 1032) would allow medical retirees with combat-related disabilities who served less than 20 years of creditable service to concurrently receive both payments without offsets.

PVA Position: 

Veterans should not lose money that is owed to them due to injuries incurred in combat. Congress must ensure America's combat-injured retirees can receive all of their entitlements by passing the Major Richard Star Act (H.R. 2102/S. 1032).
