Denied
The Board found that the Veteran's special monthly pension was properly terminated due to his household income exceeding the maximum annual pension rate (MAPR) since July 2011, and he did not provide sufficient information regarding his spouse’s net worth prior to this period.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's household income exceeded the MAPR from July 2011 onwards, which led to the termination of his special monthly pension.
