The Board has determined that the Veteran's VA compensation benefits should be restored for the period from December [redacted], 2007, to July [redacted], 2008 (the 61st day of the Veteran's incarceration) due to an improper creation of the overpayment.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was no evidence showing that the Veteran knew of the arrest warrant in Maine while he was in New Hampshire, and thus did not flee to avoid prosecution, custody or confinement. The decision also noted that the authorities in both states were aware of his detention in New Hampshire.
