The Board found that the veteran's hospitalization at VA facilities from April 29, 1988 to September 12, 1988 was sufficient evidence for terminating his disability compensation benefits. The appellant argued that the records were not available and inconsistent statements were provided by a woman who lived with the veteran during this period.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the objective evidence established that the veteran was hospitalized from April 29, 1988 to September 12, 1988, despite inconsistencies in the appellant's claims and the unavailability of records.
