Denied
The Board found that the retroactive reduction of pension benefits effective February 1, 2012, was proper and denied entitlement to pension benefits in excess of those already awarded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the Veteran's claim for additional pension benefits due to his countable income from Social Security Administration (SSA) benefits reducing his eligibility.
