Old law requires disability payments deducted from retirement
But Nix and half a million other disabled veterans learned after retiring that an obscure 19th century law reduces their retirement pay by the amount they get in disability. It?s a quirky law applying only to disabled soldiers and no other federal workers.
?If I were a civil servant, if I was anything but what I am, retired military, I?d be drawing [both disability and retirement.?
But the administration threatens to veto the legislation, arguing that changing the law would be too costly.:|
