Granted
The termination of nonservice-connected special monthly pension benefits from September 1, 2020 was found to be improper as the Veteran's countable income and net worth did not exceed the maximum annual pension rate or net worth bright line limit during the period on appeal.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran's countable income and net worth did not exceed the applicable limits, thus pension benefits should have been continued from September 1, 2020.
