I forgot to cancel my VA Comp. when i got on active duty orders and received a Compensation check today(nov 28th), and i get my first active duty check tomorrow (itll be nov 29th). Will i have to pay that comp check back even after i call to cancel ?

SGT Private RallyPoint Member Your correct answer will come from the VA when you call to cancel. They will tell you the steps that you need to take.

Are you receiving compensation in the form of disability? If you received a disability rating and then returned to active duty, then yes. Any other compensation from the V.A. should have been stopped prior to reentrance to active duty

Yes, you will have to pay it back. I sent in my request to suspend my payments when I was called back to active duty a month early but they still sent me a check that I had to pay back.
