Denied
The Board denied the appeal as new and relevant evidence had not been received to readjudicate the claim for service connection for the Veteran's cause of death.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the submitted evidence was not new and relevant, as it did not establish a link between asbestos exposure and the Veteran's acute ischemic stroke.
