Denied
The appeal was denied as the reduction in the Veteran's nonservice-connected pension by the amount of his monthly Social Security benefit from October 2012 through November 2024 was found to be proper.
The deciding factor: The reduction was proper because the Veteran's Social Security benefits were included as countable income, and no unreimbursed medical expenses or evidence that he has had a dependent have been received.
