Granted

The Veteran's earned income from 2006 and 2007 was properly counted, resulting in adjustments to his non-service-connected disability pension benefits.

The deciding factor: VA learned of the Veteran’s earned income through an IRS Income Verification Match (IVM) program and adjusted his pension accordingly.
