Dismissed
The appeal was denied due to the Veteran's death, as nonrecurring reimbursements are not payable to a substitute claimant.
The deciding factor: The appeal must be dismissed as a matter of law because the Veteran died during the pendency of the appeal and nonrecurring reimbursements are not considered periodic monetary benefits.
