Recently, news about President Obama’s support for
the reduction of military retirement pay has struck the public, particularly military
personnel nearing retirement. While the intention is primarily good, it may not
seem fair to not consider other options. Anyone who doesn’t want their benefit
claims affected should consider hiring a disability lawyer.
Effect on Finances
After years of fighting, being away from your
family, getting injured and finally obtaining disability benefits, you’d think
that there’s no other way they can hurt you now. You may believe that the
monthly benefits will go on without changing as long as you live, but in truth,
the government can and will reduce your benefits if they deem it necessary.
