Abstract: This note shows a connection between the unconditionally a.e. convergence of series with independent increments and the a.e. convergence of their Burkholder transforms. Using this result, it is then proved that the ${L_1}$ -bounded condition of Burkholder is the best one in the class of martingales, which assures the a.e. convergence of their transforms.
