Well, looking at it this way, the ELB is based on rank and not on disability. The previous system was based on your disability rather than rank and I would like to see that enacted, mainly because in some circumstances an individual who has a traumatic injury will earn less than somebody who does not, just based on rank level.
For example, somebody who's a quadriplegic, they're going to need a lot more than somebody who has a 75% disability, but had achieved a higher rank. To me, that seems like a big class differential in the military.
So if the ELB could be based on your injury rather than on your salary or your rank, more specifically, I think that would be a vast improvement over the system that is currently in place.
