Disabled Veterans Pending Incarceration

In the next few days two disabled veterans will be jailed for contempt of courts for refusing to use their disability compensation as "attachable Income".  The courts in South Dakota and Michigan have no respect for federal laws.  Disabled veterans have always been protected when it comes to their disability compensation.  This is a law and premise that goes back at least 200 years.  Today, USC 42 section 5301 prohibits the attachment and seizure of  veterans' disability compensation for any reason and under any legal process, whatever.  This process is prohibits, except for any debts owed to the federal government.  The civil courts have and will continue to use disability compensation as "INCOME" to distribute in civil domestic issues, if they are allowed.  A disabled veteran receives compensation for only one reason, his loss of earning capacity in the job market.  A married veteran does not receive any special considerations in the rating process.  If a veterans is granted an award his or her dependents may qualify for additional compensation under USC 38 section 1155.  This amount is proportional to the amount of disability awarded.  The courts invades a disabled veteran life when it uses his compensation and divide it half, leaving the disabled veteran with less than what it would take to support himself.  Veterans do not make federal laws, Congress is responsible for many disabled veterans being jailed, simply for respecting such laws.  What we have is a morality stalemate, but the veterans are losing.
