The Board found that the Veteran was in receipt of military drill pay for 44 days during Fiscal Year 2020, which led to a reduction in his VA disability compensation benefits. The appeal is denied as the withholding of VA disability compensation due to concurrent receipt of VA compensation and military drill pay was proper.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's knowledge and continued receipt of full compensation despite knowing he should not have received active service training pay contributed to the overpayment.
