Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for survivors' pension benefits and dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC) benefits due to lack of qualifying service and a dishonorable discharge.
The deciding factor: The Servicemember did not have active service during a period of war, and his character of discharge was considered dishonorable for VA purposes.
