Granted
The Board has granted an earlier effective date of December 6, 2012 for the resumption of full disability benefits due to notification of the Veteran's release from incarceration on that date.
The deciding factor: VA received notice of the Veteran's release from incarceration on December 27, 2012, and terminated the apportionment awarded during his incarceration as of that date.
