“You mean just like military get their retirement reduced if they also get VA disability but other federal retirees get full retirement plus any VA disability?”
You failed to mention that reductions offset disability payments that are also tax-free.
You also failed to mention rampant fraud in military disability.
Upon retirement it’s not unusual for a doctor to assign a disability percentage at the retirement physical, converting that portion of retirement pay into a tax-free bonus.
We arent talking about combat veterans with missing limbs here with actual disabilities, we are talking about folks able to get, for example, federal employment, and over time secure multiple federal pensions + Social Security.
Military disability is, in far too many cases “free money for nothing” and deserves a review, but probably wont ever get it.
Everybody who has ever been in the military knows this, has stories about it, or actively participates.

You forgot to mention Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC) where we can get both VA disability and CRSC. I haven’t applied yet but am considering it.
They work with me. It’s always best to get disabilities that can’t be proven, like hearing loss, headaches, PTSD, backaches, tinnitus, etc.
They can do everything I do and hear fine.
