The Veteran's claim for an increase in non-service-connected disability pension benefits based on unreimbursed medical expenses for the calendar years 2003 and 2004 was denied because no evidence of his unreimbursed medical expenses was received by VA within the required timeframes.
The deciding factor: No satisfactory evidence regarding the Veteran's unreimbursed medical expenses was received by VA prior to June 23, 2008, for the calendar years 2003 and 2004.
