The Board denied the appellant's claims for survivor's pension benefits, service connection for cause of death, and accrued benefits. The Veteran did not serve during a period of war, and there was no evidence linking his death to service.

The deciding factor: The most persuasive evidence of record weighs against finding that a disability incurred in or aggravated by service either caused or contributed substantially or materially to cause the Veteran's death.
