What's wrong with getting a Veteran's check and congressional retirement? He earned both fairly, at different times. That's not double dipping. Double dipping is when you have two different jobs at the same time, both supposedly full time jobs. He hasn't done that.

I think they've just changed the rules. You can't collect a disability check (that is supposed to make up for lost income) at the same time you are getting paid for a full-time job.

This is something that probably should have been done a long time ago. There are some insurance companies that would allow such a thing (under a specific set of circumstances that I could explain if you'd like), but this kind of insurance is extremely expensive.

Nope

An example of double dipping would be the same person drawing military retirement and social security.

What you are talking about is termed "moonlighting".
