I'm not a disabled vet. But I know several. They had the same experience this discusses. And this. And this. For the record, I'm a military brat. Dad did 33 years. First spouse did almost 30 years, 20 while we were married. Second spouse is Vietnam vet. I'm not bashing the military, but this IS a problem.

From this article you linked:
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/oct/30/veterans-caught-triple-dipping-on-benefits/

Is this quote:

“Most of his benefits — $85,958 — came from VA disability, while $46,396 was military retirement, and $20,365 was from Social Security.”

Nobody on this planet, or any other has been paid $85k VA Disability in one year. It tops out around $3,200 per month for a 100% rating.

I call BS.
