Abstract
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its adjudication regulations regarding entitlement to full concurrent receipt of military retired pay and veterans disability compensation based on a VA determination of individual unemployability (IU). This rulemaking is intended to implement section 642 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, which provides that veterans who are entitled to receive veterans disability compensation based on a VA determination of individual unemployability are no longer subject to a phase-in period. This regulatory amendment is necessary to conform to statutory provisions.
