The Board determined that the correct amount of separation pay to be recouped from VA disability compensation was $24,039.94.
The deciding factor: The error in determining the amount of separation pay to be recouped was due to incorrect application of law by the Winston-Salem RO, which did not include the re-enlistment bonus as part of the veteran's received separation pay.
