The Board found that the appellant timely provided her medical expense information for 2004, which was prior to December 31, 2005. Therefore, the appellant's claim for an adjustment to nonservice-connected pension benefits based on her 2004 medical expenses was granted.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the appellant provided her medical expense information in a timely manner and before the deadline set by the RO, thus meeting the requirements of VA regulations.
