Appellant, seeks Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) under 38 U.S.C. § 1310 (formerly § 310). She appeals a January 19, 1990, decision of the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA) which denied her spouse, a deceased veteran, entitlement to service connection for the cause of his death on the grounds that the “evidence since the prior [BVA] decision does not establish a new factual basis warranting service connection for the cause of the veteran’s death.” Jovita VDA De Espiritu, BVA 90-02159, at 5 (Jan. 19, 1990).
