Denied
The Board denied the claim for nonservice-connected burial benefits because the Veteran was not receiving VA compensation or pension benefits at the time of death and did not have a pending claim.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was not in receipt of VA monetary benefits, had no pending claim, and was not hospitalized by VA at the time of death.
