Granted
The Board granted a nonservice-connected pension from April 25, 2013 to December 31, 2013 based on the Veteran and appellant's countable income being $0.00 during this period.
The deciding factor: The annualization period for calculating medical expenses was determined to be from April 25, 2013 to April 30, 2014, resulting in a zero countable income and the maximum pension rate.
