This is true. Nobody's likely to do anything about in the mid-term because it would look like they were singling out disabled vets for budget cuts. If you think medicare is a third rail...

And it could be a double-whammy for honest folks...if the fed eventually decides to retroactively reduce our pensions, that accounting will be skewed in favor of those with disability ratings.
