Note 1: A veteran may not receive more concurrent
retired disability pay than the amount of actual retired pay received from the
Department of Defense. For example, a veteran retired at grade E-7
and is 100% disabled receives $2,299 from VA and $1,100 in retired pay from the
Department of Defense. The amount of concurrent
retired disability pay cannot exceed the $1,100, making his combined retired/VA
compensation $3,399 (vice $2,299 before the law was enacted).
Note 2: The separate program, Combat Related
Special Compensation is paid at the rate of VA disability and is tax
free. For example, the same E-7 who is 70% disabled due to combat related
incidents would receive $1,100 in military retired pay plus $1,056 in VA
compensation as a single veteran making his monthly combined retired/VA
compensation $2,156 (vice $1,100 before the law was enacted).
