Denied
The reduction in Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) disability compensation for the purpose of recouping military drill pay and the waiver of recovery of VA compensation benefits are denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's receipt of concurrent VA disability compensation and active service pay resulted in an overpayment, which was properly withheld as it is prohibited by law.
