Concurrent pay cut for 2010 NDAA??

According to what I read on another site, the 2010 NDAA doesn't include concurrent pay for Veterans. Seems Veterans don't count as much as banks and automakers.

Does anyone know if this is true?
 
So does this effect both CRSC and CRDP? Does that mean that anyone who currently gets it won't now? Or is it cut for new applicants? This isn't right.
 
Nothing has changed from how things were before.

What happened was that the President proposed extending CRDP to those Chapter 61 retirees with less than 20 years of service. Under current law, CRDP is only available to those with 20 or more years of service. The proposal to extend CRDP apparently failed because Senate negotiators thought that the budgeted money to pay for the cost of the expansion violated Senate rules.
 
Since 2004, length of service retirees with less than 20 years (there are well over 50,000 of them) are eligible for CRDP. By law, Chapter 61 retirees with less than 20 years have been excluded from CRDP. The measure that was deleted from the 2010 NDAA whould have corrected this injustice.

Wow, thats shocking, WAY TO TAKE CARE OF THE TROOPS! Outside of contacting our Legislators what can we do? It makes you wonder what's next!
 
The CRSC calculation is the biggest bunch of bureaucratic bullshit I have ever seen. The spirit of the law is to concurrently allow retirees to collect their meager retirement and their meager disability compensation for their combat related injuries so that they can live on today's economy. What DoD has done with this law is a joke!! Once again, a twenty year pogue gets much more consideration than a combat veteran who was forced out because of combat related injuries. There should be no "time in service" offset, the formula should be straight-up and clear..medical retirement (based on current formula) + VA disability payment for combat related injuries = monthly compensation. How do these politicians live with themselves? 1 Trillion dollars to prop up the fatcats in the banking industry who continue to walk away from their jobs with millions in golden parachutes. Combat veterans continue to get thrown crumbs from the table. The lesson is clear: screw your country = get rich , serve your country = get screwed!!!!!!!!!!!
