Granted
The Board granted the restoration of monthly SMP benefits from December 2020 to November 2021 and starting December 2021, as the reduction in benefits was improper.
The deciding factor: The appellant did not receive Social Security Administration (SSA) income during the relevant period, and the reduction in SMP rates was therefore improper.
