Stop VA's false narrative that dual service by married veterans is "double dipping" NOW
The Issue
Married and divorced veterans along with post-secondary students in the family have long been told that receiving benefits through more than one veteran once in college is suddenly "double dipping" which can create in excess of $70,000 in financial harm per child unexpectedly. However, each military veteran parent earned VA compensation and educational benefits on individual merit. Further, our families have had the current, precedential and binding 2008 Osman v. Peake three judge panel United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims decision in our favor for nearly two decades. Unfortunately, VA has ignored and twisted it to save itself money, and must be held accountable NOW.
