Granted
The Board granted a higher rate of survivors' pension benefits from January 1, 2021, to November 30, 2021, and from December 1, 2021.
The deciding factor: The reduction of the Appellant's pension benefits based on countable income was proper; however, a higher rate is warranted due to changes in her annualized income and medical expenses.
