Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2102) to amend title 10, United States Code, to provide for concurrent receipt of veterans' disability compensation and retired pay for disability retirees with combat-related disabilities, and for other purposes.
This bill, H.R. 1247, aims to allow veterans who retired due to combat-related disabilities to receive both their veterans' disability compensation and retired pay at the same time. Currently, these benefits are not paid concurrently. The bill also has other related purposes.
It will impact veterans who retired from military service due to disabilities caused by combat. These veterans and their families could benefit from the combined income, potentially improving their financial stability and quality of life.
As of the latest update on 2026-04-30, the bill was introduced and referred to the House Committee on Rules. Key actions include a motion to discharge the committee, filed by the primary sponsor, Mr. Takano, and it is currently on the Discharge Calendar, No. 8. This means that if enough support is gathered, the bill could bypass the committee and move directly to a vote by the full House.
