Denied
The overpayment of VA pension benefits in the amount of $18,071.73 due to incarceration is valid; the appeal for an earlier effective date for reinstatement of nonservice-connected pension benefits was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's overpayment was properly created based on his felony conviction and subsequent incarceration, and that there was no evidence supporting an earlier effective date for the reinstatement of pension benefits.
