Retired Disabled Vets Urged to Seek VA Compensation
Veterans retired from the armed forces for disability who have not filed for VA disability pay were reminded by the VA that they may not lose retirement benefits by filing. Manager Jack Coker of the Waco VA Regional Office said veterans can elect the greater of retirement pay or VA compensation and may switch later if advantageous. Even with a VA award, basic retirement benefits like commissary access and dependent medical care remain. Severely disabled enlisted personnel may gain more from VA compensation than retirement pay.
