Granted
The Veteran's $12,050.21 active-duty severance payment was fully recouped prior to her award of VA disability compensation benefits at the 40 percent rate, effective December 1, 2021.
The deciding factor: Based on the evidence and credible reports, it is at least as likely as not that the Veteran's severance payment was fully recouped before receiving increased VA disability compensation.
