KRAMER, Associate Judge:

Appellant, Odessa Gregory, appeals a March 12, 1991, decision of the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA or Board) which denied her recognition as the surviving spouse of the veteran for purposes of Department of Veterans Affairs death benefits. The BVA ruled against appellant pursuant to 38 C.F.R. § 3.53(a) (1992) on the grounds that she was not without fault in failing to cohabit continuously with the veteran from the date of their marriage to the date of the veteran's death. This Court has jurisdiction under 38 U.S.C.A. § 7252(a) (West 1991).
