A little clarification...
The Philippine Scouts from prewar and the Bataan campaign did receive and have always received their benefits. It's the "new scouts" formed after the war who were caught in the middle of the Rescission Act. The Philippine Army Bataan vets also fell victim to the Act and didn't get their benefits.

Incidentally, here is a long trailer preview of an upcoming documentary film about the Philippine Scouts:
