Granted
The Board found that the reduction in VA compensation benefits for 12 days during FY 2012 was not proper and granted this portion of the appeal. The reduction in VA compensation benefits for 37 days during FY 2009, 75 days during FY 2010, and 56 days during FY 2011 was proper.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not submit additional evidence regarding his drill days as requested by VA, which led to the reduction of compensation benefits for FY 2012 being deemed invalid.
