Denied
The appellant's countable income exceeded the applicable maximum annual pension rate (MAPR) for the period on appeal, thus denying her entitlement to survivor's pension benefits prior to December 15, 2023.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the appellant's annual countable income was substantially in excess of the applicable MAPR, and there was insufficient evidence provided to reduce her countable income below the MAPR.
