The Veteran is entitled to $1,708 per month beginning January 1, 2018 in nonservice-connected pension benefits for a Veteran requiring aid and attendance with one dependent. The income adjustment of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) nonservice-connected pension benefits based on countable income was incorrect; the Veteran is now entitled to $1,708 per month beginning January 1, 2018.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the AOJ incorrectly calculated the Veteran's medical expenses and adjusted the pension benefits accordingly.
