For disabled veterans and those who have served our country, there is new information relating to the Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay (CRDP). Qualified disabled military retirees will now get paid both their full military retirement pay and their VA disability compensation. Army Disabled Veterans have a web page. The Iraq Memorial is a new site full of information.
While information is limited and time-consuming to gather, there are ways to determine financial decisions to care for a disabled veteran.
Clebe and Deanna McClary tell their stories in books and in the movie Portrait of an American Hero. There is the other side of financial matters when it comes to marriage, healing and starting a different chapter together. I find their story compelling to share as inspiration for those loved ones enduring the odds and overcoming them beautifully.
This is just the beginning of my research, and I hope to blog again about further findings pertaining to financial matters for our wonderful veterans. I thank all the military personnel and their families for serving our country.
