The Board denied the veteran's claim for VA non-service connected pension benefits because his service record could not be verified, and thus he did not meet the basic eligibility requirements.
The deciding factor: The veteran's service record was unverified due to lack of response from the veteran regarding his DD-214 and NA Form 13075.
