Denied
The Board denied the claims for survivors' pension benefits and accrued benefits due to lack of a pending claim at the time of the Veteran's death.
The deciding factor: The denial was based on the absence of any pending claim at the time of the Veteran's death, which is a requirement for accrued benefits. For survivors' pension, it was denied as service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death had been granted, rendering the pension unnecessary.
