There's bipartisan support for a bill to allow disabled veterans to also collect military retirement pay.
That's called the Richard Starr Act, and it's been stalled in Congress for five years, in part because budget hawks opposed the cost.
But Republicans surprised Democrats and veterans groups when they proposed to pay for it by reducing the disability rates for vets in the future who have two very common ailments.
Those are tinnitus and sleep apnea.
Both conditions are often linked to combat and exposure to toxins at war.
Democrats say any offset should come not from the VA budget, but the Pentagon.

Iran struck back at U.S.
bases in the Gulf.
