Denied
The Board denied the claim for accrued benefits for ischemic heart disease (IHD) as there were no claims or appeals pending at the time of the Veteran's death, and no benefits were due and unpaid.
The deciding factor: The October 2011 and October 2021 rating decisions became final, and there were no claims or appeals pending at the time of the Veteran's death, thus accrued benefits are not warranted as a matter of law.
