The appeal as to the overpayment of VA compensation benefits in the amount of $1,001.00 was dismissed due to a full waiver granted by COWC. The reduction in VA compensation benefits for concurrent receipt of military service drill pay from FYs 2004-2012 was upheld. However, the appeal as to the validity and recovery of the debt related to concurrent receipt of VA compensation and military drill pay during active duty periods is remanded due to procedural issues.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's overpayment claim for $1,001.00 was resolved in his favor with a full waiver granted by COWC. The appeal regarding the reduction in benefits due to concurrent receipt of VA compensation and military drill pay during active duty periods is remanded as there are procedural issues that need further clarification.
