REMANDED
Whether the withholding of service-connected compensation benefits to recoup for 72 drill pay days for fiscal year 2010 for the period of July 1, 2013 to September 13, 2013 was proper, is remanded.
REASONS FOR REMAND
The Veteran served in the United States Air Force from December 1979 to March 1980; and has verified periods of active duty as a member of the Air National guard from August 1990 to July 1991; from May 2002 to June 2002; July 2005 to June 2006; July 2006 to July 2007, July 2010 to November 2010, February 2011 to May 2011, August 2011 to September 2011, and October 2011 to November 2011. She retired from the Air National Guard in April 2013.
The Veteran’s Department of Veterans Affairs(VA) service-connected compensation benefits were withheld by VA to recoup 160 drill pay days for fiscal year 2010 for the period of July 1, 2013 to December 11, 2013.  The number of drill pay days was subsequently revised to 72 days.  
The Veteran has requested an audit of her account.  Given the adjustment in the number of drill pay days, the Board finds that such an audit should be undertaken on remand.
The matter is REMANDED for the following action:
Prepare a paid and due audit of the Veteran’s service-connected compensation benefits, setting forth the periods of drill pay and the reduction in benefits for those days.
