Will having a disability rating impact my drill pay?

So i just transferred from the IRR to the reserves and I am rated at 40% disability, I know I will get 2 days knocked off my disability because of drill. But, will my drill pay be effected ? My recruiter made it sound like I would make less but wouldnt I make more if I just get 2 days knocked off disability and about 300 drill pay?

Also, remember that drill pay is taxable income. Compensation and Pension isn't.

I dont understand why you draw disability and are still able to pull IRR. Disability ratings are supposed to make the soldier unfit for duty because he cannot be deplored when called to active duty.
