The Board has determined that the termination of VA compensation benefits due to the Veteran's fugitive felon status from August 25, 2021 (subsequently restored on March 8, 2024 after resolution of the fugitive felon warrant) was proper and denied the appeal.
The deciding factor: VA terminated the Veteran's compensation benefits because he was identified as a fugitive felon due to a probation violation warrant issued in August 25, 2021, which VA satisfied its duty to show he was a fugitive felon under 38 U.S.C. § 5313B.
