The Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA) has determined that the veteran's net worth was excessive for pension benefits, leading to a denial of improved disability pension due to his excessive net worth.
The deciding factor: The RO requested documentation showing the date of depletion of $50,000 in assets but the veteran did not provide it. The Board concluded that the veteran has effectively derailed the process by which his claim could have been developed.
