Denied
The Board denied the Appellant's claim for VA death benefits because her husband did not have qualifying service in the Armed Forces of the United States.
The deciding factor: The Board is bound by the service department's finding that the decedent did not have service as a member of the Philippine Commonwealth Army, including recognized guerilla forces, in the service of the United States Armed Forces.
