Denied
The overpayment of VA compensation benefits in the amount of $62,927.87 was validly created due to the Veteran's incarceration following a felony conviction.
The deciding factor: VA found that the Veteran had affirmative knowledge of his incorrect compensation rate from November 2015 forward and failed to proactively inform VA about it, contributing to the creation and growth of the overpayment.
