Dismissed
The claim for nonservice-connected pension benefits is dismissed as moot because the Veteran's 100 percent service-connected disability compensation provides a greater benefit.
The deciding factor: The appeal period runs from March 26, 2023 based on the date of receipt of the Veteran's Application for Pension, and his 100 percent service-connected disability compensation represents the greater award over nonservice-connected pension for the entire appeal period.
