The Veteran's appeal for the recouping of overpayment for FY 2008 drill pay is granted as the recalculated amount was found to be erroneous.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the recalculated disability rate used in August 2016 was based on the Veteran’s disability rate at the beginning of FY 2009, not from her FY 2008 compensation.
