Taxpayer appealed. Appeal dismissed. Taxpayer’s situation did not factually fall within definition contained in s. 14(a) of Old Age Security Regulations exclusions as pension income. Payment was lump sum withdrawn from RSP, not converted periodic annuity paid monthly over statutorily-mandated annuity term.
