Denied
The appeal was denied as the withholding of VA disability compensation payments to recoup military separation pay was deemed proper under governing law.
The deciding factor: The law mandates that VA recoupment from a veteran's VA disability compensation the amount of non-disability separation pay received by the veteran, and this case is dispositive in requiring such recoupment.
