Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for nonservice-connected pension benefits as he does not meet the criteria to be considered permanently and totally disabled.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran was a patient in a nursing home, disabled by SSA, met the 'average person' test, or was unemployable due to his nonservice-connected disabilities.
