The Board found that VA over-recouped funds for military drill pay and ordered a refund of $1,359.93. The reduction in VA disability compensation was deemed proper but the recoupment amount was incorrect.
The deciding factor: VA incorrectly calculated the recoupment amount based on the Veteran's higher rate of pay, leading to an over-recouping of funds.
