Fixing disability and retirement pay is Congress’ next big vets issue

When I was awarded 100% for Agent Orange Prostate cancer, I filed and was awarded CRSC. It stayed in effect when I was downgraded to 40%.
Here are the current requirements for CRSC.
You’re retired (and entitled to or receiving military retirement pay), and
You have a VA disability rating of at least 10%, and
You currently have your DoD retirement payments reduced by the amount of your VA disability payments

I look at this more as a penalty for retiring. No matter what, you get to keep your full disability. But retirees lose a portion of their retirement for being "not broken enough" which is BS. Folks who got out early and went to earn a civilian retirement (or invested and have independent retirement funding) are not similarly penalized.

The whole point of the disability pay is that it is harder to find a job that can fit your needs due to what the military broke. And you will also likely have to turn down / not apply for some higher paying jobs due to your limitations (I get debiliatitng stress-induced migraines. Find me a 6-figure job with low stress; I'll wait.). That job difficulty doesn't go away because you get a retainer check from the military (because we also have to remember that SCOTUS has ruled that retirement pay isn't ACTUALLY retirement pay, it is a retainer for potential future service).

The ONLY exceptions I could see to this is if you get a medical retirement disability payment from the military. Getting two disability payments *may* make sense to offset. But I admit I am not smart enough on the intricacies involved here to make a good judgment on that.
