Denied
The Board denied all claims for survivor's pension benefits, accrued benefits, and DIC based on the Veteran's lack of qualifying service and absence of evidence linking his death to service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not have the requisite wartime service or a pending claim at the time of his death, and there was no evidence linking his cause of death to his active service.
