Denied
The overpayment of compensation benefits in the amount of $351.91 was validly created due to the Veteran receiving both VA compensation and active service drill pay for the same period.
The deciding factor: The concurrent receipt of VA compensation and drill pay during the same fiscal year violated the law, creating a valid overpayment debt.
