The Board found that the reduction in VA disability compensation benefits for concurrent receipt of military service drill pay and active duty pay was proper, thus denying the appeal.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran's periods of military drill pay and active duty did not affect his eligibility for VA disability compensation benefits as per 38 U.S.C. § 5304(c) and 38 C.F.R. §§ 3.654, 3.700.
