Denied
The Veteran's nonservice-connected pension benefits from May 1, 2020 were denied because the compensation benefit for his service-connected disabilities was greater than the pension benefit.
The deciding factor: The compensation benefit for the Veteran's service-connected disability resulted in a greater award than the amount he would be entitled to from a pension benefit.
