The Board has determined that the overpayment of $8,807.20 was properly created due to a retroactive reduction in compensation rate as of the 61st day of the Veteran's felony conviction on October 30, 2014. The portion of the overpayment from December 31, 2014 through January 2, 2015 is granted.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the reduction to the 10 percent compensation rate was proper as it applied to the 61st day following the Veteran's felony conviction on October 30, 2014. The overpayment after January 2, 2015 is due solely to VA administrative error.
