OK, my situation is this: I was released from active duty due to physical injury in October 2009. I recently received a letter from the VA stating that in fiscal year 2010 I was attached to a reserve or guard unit, and that I was paid for 16 days of training pay. My family and I are currently living off of my VA benefits, supplemented by a bottom barrel job due to lack of jobs I'm able to do that don't screw with my injuries. The VA is stating that they're going to withhold my benefits to pay back my "drill training pay." I sent a written statement that I never received drill pay, and that I was discharged before fiscal year 2010.
Their response is that I need a letter from my reserve unit commander stating as much, but every number I've called for the VA or from my old chain of command, nobody can tell me who I was supposedly attached to, or who to contact to rectify the situation.
Has anyone faced a similar situation? Or anyone know what I can do, or who I can contact? I really don't want to have to explain to my wife and son that we have to stay with the in laws until we can get another place.
