Whole decision: Denied

The appeal was denied due to the proper withholding of VA disability compensation benefits for fiscal year 2020 during which the Veteran received military drill pay.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's knowledge and continued receipt of full monthly payments despite being notified that he was not entitled to them constituted non-VA error, thus denying sole administrative error.

What this means for you

A final Board denial may be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, generally within 120 days of the Board mailing date. A Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence is a separate option. Another Higher-Level Review of the Board decision is not available. Check your own notice: this historical decision does not set your deadline.

What you can do next

Use your own notice and decision stage. A remanded issue is not a final court-appealable denial. VA review guidance and CAVC filing instructions (U.S. federal; reviewed October 7, 2026).
