Granted
VA may not withhold disability compensation to recoup the Veteran's disability severance pay, as the non-severance-pay disabilities combined to be rated 100 percent disabling.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's other non-severance-pay disabilities combined to reach a 100 percent rating exclusive of the severance-pay disability, making it functionally 'as if' the severance-pay disability is noncompensable.
