Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claims for VA benefits, including DIC and survivors' pension benefits, because she was not married to the veteran at the time of his death.
The deciding factor: The appellant was divorced from the veteran in October 2006 and was not remarried to him before his death in February 2014.
