Denied
The Veteran's VA benefits were withheld due to concurrent receipt of disability compensation and military drill pay for 28 days in FY 2014. The Board found the withholding proper based on evidence showing he received 347 drill days, resulting in a withholding of $3,633.70.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was receiving both VA disability compensation and military drill pay for 28 days in FY 2014, which is not allowed under VA regulations.
