## Opinion text

KRAMER, Associate Judge,
concurring:
I agree with the result obtained in Judge Ivers’ opinion and the analysis used to obtain that result, except that I would not require appellant to prove her status as a spouse of the veteran by a preponderance of the evidence. As stated in my concurring opinion in Aguilar v. Derwinski, 2 Vet.App. 21, 23-24 (1991), status is but one element of a claim and should not be held to a burden of proof different than any other element.
