The Board has granted a claim for an earlier effective date of January [redacted], 2007, for the resumption of compensation at the full rate due to release from incarceration. The Veteran was released to a halfway house on that date and his entitlement is limited to the amount of full benefits not previously paid during the period from January [redacted], 2007, to July [redacted], 2007.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's release from incarceration occurred in January [redacted], 2007, and thus his entitlement to resumption of full benefits should be effective on that date. The amount due is calculated as the difference between the full rate and the sum of amounts paid to him and his apportionees during the period from January [redacted], 2007, to July [redacted], 2007.
