Dismissed
The issue of the validity of the decision to retrieve Survivor's Pension benefits was improperly docketed and therefore dismissed.
The deciding factor: The claim was not filed in response to an appealable rating decision, but rather a notification letter informing the appellant of future action regarding an overpayment. The AMA review system only applies to claims for which VA issues notice of an initial decision on or after February 19, 2019.
