Granted
The Board has determined that the reduction in VA disability compensation for concurrent receipt of active service drill pay was proper, but the correct amount is $5,366.05 and not the originally proposed amount.
The deciding factor: The decision acknowledges that the Veteran served 137 days during FY 2015 at different rates of pay, leading to an incorrect reduction in VA disability compensation benefits.
