The Board found that the reduction in VA disability compensation benefits for a period of 103 days in FY 2011 due to concurrent receipt of military pay was proper and denied the appeal.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service during the period in question was recognized as active duty or military drill service, but he did not believe it should be counted. The waiver of overpayment for this period had already been granted, and the RO appropriately withheld his VA compensation benefits for that time.
