The Board denied the reduction in VA disability compensation benefits due to concurrent receipt of military service drill pay for fiscal years 2012, 2013, and 2015.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the RO appropriately withheld the Veteran's VA compensation benefits for periods during which he was in receipt of military drill pay, thus reducing the VA disability compensation benefits to offset this concurrent receipt.
