Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed because the veteran died before a decision could be made. The dismissal 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 has no jurisdiction to adjudicate the merits of this appeal due to the death of the Veteran.
