Denied
The Veteran's appeal for reimbursement of his withheld military retired pay during incarceration is denied as VA has no authority to provide the relief he seeks.
The deciding factor: VA did not have a duty or ability to affect the rate of payment by the service department, and there was no violation of law regarding the withholding of retirement pay.
