Granted
The Board found that the RO improperly terminated the Veteran's VA compensation benefits for the period extending from December 27, 2001 to July 31, 2004, resulting in an overpayment of $72,205.93, and granted a waiver of recovery of this overpayment.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was insufficient evidence of record to show that the Veteran met the definition of fugitive felon at the time her benefits were terminated.
