Granted
The Board granted an effective date of May 22, 2017, for the grant of nonservice-connected pension benefits.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed a pending unadjudicated claim for entitlement to pension benefits and that VA was put on notice of the Veteran's potential eligibility for both compensation and pension.
