Bradley Commission urged linking Social Security with war pensions
Omar Bradley led the Bradley Commission in 1956 issuing a five page report with main recommendations including syncing Social Security with war pensions at set monthly limits for single veterans and dependents, revising disability pay eligibility, moving housing loans to FHA, basing widows and children on need, and ending benefits for discharges of bad conduct. Congress largely ignored the recommendations and added some benefits atop existing Social Security. President Eisenhower offered no new proposal in 1957, signaling possible action in a forthcoming message. The plan proposed ensuring no one leaving service in good health would receive more in benefits than comparable non veterans, while preserving or expanding pensions for service-connected or disabled veterans.
