Dismissed
The claim for Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) under 38 USC 1151 was dismissed because the Veteran's death was already granted service connection.
The deciding factor: The grant of service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death renders moot the Veteran's claim for DIC under 38 U.S.C. § 1151.
