Granted
The overpayment of VR&E subsistence allowance was not properly created due to the Veteran's mitigating circumstances related to an injury to his service-connected right shoulder, and any recoupment must be reimbursed.
The deciding factor: The injury constituted a mitigating circumstance that prevented the Veteran from pursuing his rehabilitation program continuously, thus no reduction in SA should have occurred.
