No more offset for service connected retirees

I'd like to see the minimum rating of 50% for VA ratings done way with, so that all retirees regardless of their VA rating get their full retirement and full VA compensation

I'd like to see the offset of military retirement, for military retirees that are also receiving VA compensation but are rated 40% or less be done away with, the two benefits are two different benefits and are earned equally, therefore they should be provided equally.

A similar offset for surviving spouses who receive DIC (Dependency and Indemnity Compensation) and the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) was done away with earlier this year, so it is time to eliminate the offset for retirees that have a service connected rating through the VA of 40% or less.
