A bipartisan coalition of lawmakers reintroduced legislation that would allow more than
50,000 combat-disabled veterans to simultaneously receive full retirement and
disability pay.
Introduced March 18, the Major Richard Star Act would change current policy, which
prevents some service members with combat-related injuries from receiving both
retirement and disability benefits.
