Veterans receive triple benefits amid GAO findings
Nearly 60,000 veterans were triple dippers in 2013, collecting $3.5 billion in military retirement pay along with Social Security disability benefits. The average payment neared $59,000, with about 2,300 veterans receiving $100,000 or more. The highest was $208,757. Experts urge program coordination to curb rising costs as disability funds face potential shortfalls.
