Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal, finding that his pension benefits were properly terminated and reduced due to a lack of timely submission of required information regarding marital status and medical expenses.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's failure to provide adequate verification of marital status and unreimbursed medical expenses within the 60-day notification period.
