Does anyone know the facts on the dual compensation rule that the Pres signed in Nov 03?

I have gotten scoop, but no hard facts.

(CSRC)---Combat-Related Special Compensation.
I applied for CSRC in July 2003, received a letter that I was approved in Dec 2003 and should start receiving Retirement pay and VA disability in March 2004. I was awarded 60% due to combat releted injury (Agent Orange) in 1997 and then the VA made it 100% in 1998 due to the fact that I was unable to hold a job, I will get 60% of my retirement not 100%. Them 60% is better than 0%. I should be paid from July 2003 thru Feb 2004 in my first check.
