Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter to determine the type and amount of SSA benefits received by the Veteran's dependent son, M.K., during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: The AOJ committed a pre-decisional error by not determining if M.K.'s income was SSI, which is not considered countable income for nonservice-connected pension purposes.
