Karnes County Veterans! Are you leaving VA Benefits that you have earned unclaimed? Many Vets that retired prior to 2004 may believe that they cannot collect a military pension and VA Compensation & Pension at the same time. This was indeed the case prior to 2004. In January 2004 the Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay Program (CRDP) went into affect. The program was on a 10 year phase in and as of January 2014 Retired Service Members could have both their full Military Retirement Pension and up to 100% VA Disability! If you have any questions on the CRDP program call me or stop by the office on Fridays.
