Granted

The Board has determined that VA improperly withheld payment of the Veteran's disability compensation benefits to recoup amounts paid for 164 days of fiscal year 2008, except for periods when concurrent payments were made for military training and VA compensation.

The deciding factor: The Veteran only received concurrent payments of military pay and VA compensation benefits for days during the period beginning February 1, 2008 and ending on February 29, 2008. The Board found that VA had improperly withheld payment for periods prior to this date.
