Summary of Bill S 1032

Bill 119 s 1032, also known as the Concurrent Receipt of Disability Pay Act, aims to amend title 10 of the United States Code to allow veterans who are receiving disability compensation and retired pay for disability to receive both concurrently. This bill specifically focuses on disability retirees with combat-related disabilities.

Currently, many veterans who are disabled due to their service in combat are forced to choose between receiving their full retirement pay or their disability compensation. This bill seeks to rectify this issue by allowing these veterans to receive both forms of payment simultaneously.

The main goal of this bill is to provide financial support to disabled veterans who have sacrificed their health and well-being in service to their country. By allowing these veterans to receive both forms of payment, they will be able to better support themselves and their families. In addition to providing concurrent receipt of disability pay, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to veterans' benefits and support. Overall, the Concurrent Receipt of Disability Pay Act aims to improve the financial well-being of disabled veterans with combat-related disabilities and ensure they receive the support they deserve for their service to the nation.
