Granted
The Board found that the Veteran's net worth did not exceed the limit, so the termination of pension benefits was improper. The Veteran's pension benefits with special monthly pension are reinstated.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that transfers into an irrevocable trust were not countable toward net worth and that the Veteran's net worth did not exceed the bright line limit of $123,600.
