(b) Sentence no longer effective.--If an enlisted member receives a reduction in pay grade under subsection (a) and the sentence which led to a reduction in pay grade is later set aside, disapproved or, as finally approved, does not include a dishonorable or bad-conduct discharge or confinement, the rights and privileges of which the person was deprived because of that reduction shall be restored, including pay grade and allowances.
