Partly granted
The veteran's spouse was denied a survivor's pension due to income exceeding the maximum annual pension rate. The claim for accrued benefits was dismissed as moot, and the claim for dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC) was remanded for further action.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the appellant's income exceeding the maximum annual pension rate and the lack of pending claims for accrued benefits.
