Denied
The Board denied the claim for Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) under 38 USC § 1151, as there was no evidence that the Veteran's death was related to or caused by VA treatment or examination.
The deciding factor: The preponderance of the evidence is against the claim for DIC under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for the cause of the Veteran's death because he did not receive VA treatment prior to his death and there was no indication that his death was related to VA services.
