Denied
The appeal to recoup separation pay from VA compensation benefits was denied as the withholding of VA compensation benefits to recoup separation pay in the amount of $33,231.71 was proper.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the requirement by 10 U.S.C. § 1174 and implementing regulations that VA must recoup separation pay from disability compensation.
