readjustment pay under this section or disability compensation under laws administered by the Veterans' Administration, but not both. Election of readjustment pay shall not deprive a person of any disability compensation to which he may become entitled, on the basis of subsequent service, under laws administered by the Veterans' Administration. "(c) The acceptance of readjustment pay under this section shall not deprive a person of any retired pay, retirement pay, retainer pay, or other retirement benefits from the United States to which he would otherwise become entitled.

"(e) A member of a reserve component who on the effective date of this section is serving on active duty under an agreement authorized by section 235 of this Act, and who is involuntarily released from active duty before completing his agreed term of service, may elect, in lieu of separation payment under that section, to receive readjustment pay under this section. " (f) Any payments accruing to a person under this section shall be reduced by the amount of any payment previously received by that person under this section, unless he has already refunded the prior payment to the United States. If he has refunded the earlier payment, the period covered by the earlier payment shall be considered as a period for which no payment has been made under this Act. " (g) A person who receives readjustment pay under this section is not entitled to mustering-out pay under the Slustering Out Payment Act of 1944 or under the Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1952.
