The Board denied a nonservice-connected pension prior to February 8, 2021 due to the Veteran's countable income exceeding the applicable maximum annual pension rates. The claim for a nonservice-connected pension since February 8, 2021 is dismissed as moot because the Veteran is in receipt of a 100 percent rating that represents a greater benefit.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a nonservice-connected pension prior to February 8, 2021 due to the Veteran's countable income exceeding the applicable maximum annual pension rates. The claim for a nonservice-connected pension since February 8, 2021 is dismissed as moot because the Veteran is in receipt of a 100 percent rating that represents a greater benefit.
