I posted this question on a different forumn, but thought this might be more appropriate.

Here is a possible scenario......

A vet who is retired with 20+ years of service and receiving retirement pay for the DOD.

The vet has a combined rating of 40% disability, which is offset dollar for dollar with his retirement pay.

The vet files for an increase of one of the ailments is January 2008.
