Denied
The appeal was denied due to the proper withholding of VA disability compensation for 8 days of drill pay received in FY 2021.
The deciding factor: The presumption of regularity applied as the notice was sent to the Veteran's last known address and not returned, and he did not provide evidence disputing the number of drill days.
