The Board of Veterans' Appeals has determined that the veteran's evidence of unreimbursed medical expenses for 1997 was timely submitted, and thus his claim is granted.
The deciding factor: The veteran submitted an Improved Pension Eligibility Verification Report along with a Medical Expense Report for 1997 by January 8, 1998, which fell within the required submission period of January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1998.
