Dismissed
The appeal for service connection of a left upper extremity disability was dismissed due to the Veteran's death. The decision does not affect the right of an eligible person to take the Veteran's place to continue the appeal on the pending claim.
The deciding factor: The Board cannot issue a decision on the underlying claim at this time and must dismiss this appeal because the Veteran passed away while the appeal was pending.
