Denied
The Board denied the claims for a survivor's pension, accrued benefits, and service connection for cause of death due to insufficient evidence linking the Veteran's causes of death to his military service.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence showing that the Veteran's causes of death were related to his military service, particularly in light of the absence of a service-connected disability during his lifetime and the appellant's lack of medical expertise.
