The Board has granted an effective date of November 30, 1993 for the veteran's award of nonservice-connected disability pension. The decision is based on new evidence submitted by the veteran in November 1993.
The deciding factor: The veteran submitted a claim for nonservice-connected pension in November 1993, which was accepted as an informal claim and considered timely given the medical records showing his disabilities from October 1992. The Board found that this constituted a new claim for pension.
