Wanless v. Shinseki, 10-7007, involved an incarcerated veteran’s request for full reinstatement of his disability benefits following his transfer from a state-operated prison to a privately owned prison. In affirming the Board of Veterans’ Appeals’ and the Veterans Court’s denial of the request, the court held that the Veterans Court properly construed section 5313 to include penal institutions that are privately operated, yet state-contracted.
