Denied
The termination of VA disability compensation benefits from March 29, 2021, to November 5, 2021, due to fugitive felon status was proper; and the criteria for reinstatement of VA disability compensation benefits prior to November 5, 2021, have not been met.
The deciding factor: The warrant issued in March 2021 for a probation violation remained valid until it was cleared on November 5, 2021, and the Veteran's benefits were subject to adjustment during this period.
