Granted
The Board granted VA survivor's pension benefits in the amount of $9639 to C.W.'s inheritable estate.
The deciding factor: The payment was returned after C.W.'s death, and thus is governed by 38 U.S.C. § 5121 and 38 C.F.R. § 3.1003, which require the amount to be paid to the decedent's estate.
