Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to determine whether the appellant is entitled to a survivor's pension, including entitlement to a special monthly pension (SMP), based on her countable income and need for aid and attendance.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the need to re-evaluate the appellant's eligibility for survivor's pension benefits due to potential inaccuracies in the previous determination regarding her medical expenses and the need for aid and attendance.
