The Board found that the Veteran was not entitled to drill pay in 2015 and thus, there was no overpayment of VA disability compensation benefits. Therefore, the debt for $112.07 is invalid.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show any active duty or drill service by the Veteran in 2015, leading to a finding that she was entitled to her full disability benefits and thus no overpayment occurred.
