Veterans don't have a right or entitlement to the passage of the above bill because rights and entitlements are ment to absolve those who put them in harms way. Do disabled veterans deserve the passage of this bill? They most certainly do!
However, this has happened before. Then, when the Senate/House committee meets to iron out the differences, the matter of "concurrent receipt gets amended away!
Shameful. Contact your congress critter and get this screw job fixed this time!
