Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for both service-connected and non-service-connected burial benefits due to a lack of evidence showing that he had any service-connected disabilities or was receiving VA pension or disability compensation at the time of his death.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran would have been receiving VA disability compensation but for the receipt of military retired pay, nor that he had pending claims for such benefits.
