Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to verify the dates of the Veteran's fugitive felon status and incarceration, and to perform a paid and due audit for his VA compensation payments.
The deciding factor: There was a pre-decisional duty to assist error as prior to terminating the Veteran's VA benefits, the AOJ did not reconcile the dates of incarceration and the dates he was deemed to be a fugitive felon, despite the overlap in dates, which may have affected his VA compensation pay.
