Granted
The appeal was granted, as the reduction of the Veteran's VA disability compensation benefits based on her felony incarceration was improper.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved all reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran and found that she had not been convicted of a felony or incarcerated for one.
