Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claims for survivors' pension benefits and accrued benefits due to her income exceeding the applicable maximum annual pension rate.
The deciding factor: The appellant's countable income exceeded the MAPR, disqualifying her from entitlement to survivors' pension benefits. There were no pending claims at the time of the Veteran's death, thus denying the claim for accrued benefits.
