Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claims for Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) and survivors' pension benefits. The Veteran did not meet the required time periods for a total disability rating to be in place for consideration of DIC, and the appellant's countable income exceeded the allowable income limit for pension benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's total disability rating was not in place for the required period, and the appellant's income exceeded the maximum annual pension rate.
