Denied
The Board denied the request to readjudicate the claim of entitlement to service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death and also denied the payment of nonservice-connected (NSC) survivor's pension benefits.
The deciding factor: The evidence submitted was not new and relevant, failing to prove that the Veteran's cause of death was related to his active service. Additionally, the combined income of J. K., the surviving child, and the appellant exceeded the applicable maximum annual pension rates (MAPRs).
