The termination of the Veteran's VA pension effective November 1, 2016 was found to be improper and is being restored.
The deciding factor: The evidence window for Board consideration closed after the April 2020 determination letter. The Board determined that the RO should have provided the Veteran with an opportunity to correct and submit a valid VA Form 10182 following receipt of the July 23, 2020 VA Form 10182.
