Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied entitlement to dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC) benefits, accrued benefits, and remanded the claim for a survivor's pension.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was not service connected for any disabilities at the time of his death, and there is no indication that the cause of death might be related to service. No periodic monetary benefits were owed to the Veteran at the time of his death.
