Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death, but dismissed the claim for DIC under § 1151.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the treatment for the Veteran's service-connected disabilities substantially contributed to his death by acute fentanyl intoxication.
