Denied
The Board denied service connection for the Veteran's cause of death, Special Monthly Pension (SMP) for the surviving spouse, and entitlement to accrued benefits.
The deciding factor: The evidence was persuasively against finding that the Veteran's cause of death was related to service or that the Appellant needed regular aid and attendance or was housebound.
