Denied
The Board found that all withholdings from the Veteran's VA compensation payments for an apportionment and incarceration debt were proper, and denied his claim.
The deciding factor: VA withheld retired pay due to the adjustment in the date of the Veteran’s compensation payments reduced due to incarceration, but DFAS has not provided an AEW for this period.
