Denied
The appeal was denied due to the proper withholding of VA compensation benefits for 20 days during FY 2023, as the Veteran received drill pay while also receiving VA disability compensation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the creation of the overpayment debt is valid and the withholding of benefits was proper under the law prohibiting receipt of VA disability compensation benefits for any period a person receives active service pay, including drill pay.
