Partly granted
The Board granted restoration of a survivor's pension from January 2005 to February 2016 but denied it since March 2016 due to exceeding the maximum annual pension rates.
The deciding factor: The appellant did not have countable income for pension eligibility purposes prior to March 2016, making termination of pension benefits improper. However, her countable income exceeded the applicable MAPRs from March 2016 onwards.
