The termination of the Veteran's nonservice-connected pension benefits and the overpayment were properly determined based on his countable family income exceeding the applicable maximum annual pension rate.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's countable family income exceeded the statutory limits, making the termination of pension benefits proper. The overpayment was validly created as there was no evidence of VA administrative error.
