The Board found that the recoupment of VSP in the amount of $100,850.40 (after-tax amount) is warranted and that withholding disability compensation benefits at the 100 percent rate was not proper, and the withholding should be at the 50 percent level during the entire period on appeal.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the recoupment of VSP pay from VA disability compensation benefits was warranted due to the Veteran's receipt of VSP after he was discharged from service. The Board also found that the withholding rate should be at the 50 percent level, as per a Department of the Air Force memorandum.
