Lawmakers and veterans groups are stepping up efforts to fight cuts to military benefits for retirees under the bipartisan budget agreement passed by Congress before the holiday break.

Bills were introduced in the House this week by members on both sides of the aisle that would effectively undo pension cuts to military retirees.
