Hayes v. Brown
United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims

KRAMER, Associate Judge:
Appellant, Mildred M. Hayes, appeals a May 17, 1991, decision of the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA or Board) (the second BVA decision) denying entitlement to accrued benefits due her late husband, William C. Hayes, on the bases that neither the veteran nor persons empowered to act for him filed a claim for service connection for esophageal cancer, nor was there an increase in the veteran’s service-connected disabilities during the year prior to his death. We vacate and remand the second BVA decision for additional factfinding.
