The Board found that the reduction in VA disability compensation for the purpose of recouping military drill pay was proper, and denied the appeal.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not waive her receipt of military pay nor has she asserted that she did not receive this pay. The AOJ appropriately withheld the Veteran’s VA compensation benefits for FYs 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 during which she was in receipt of military drill pay.
