In the Matter of the Claim of Ruth Benjamin, Appellant, against Republic Steel Corporation et al., Respondents. Workmen’s Compensation Board, Respondent.

Appeal by the claimant from a decision and award of the Workmen’s Compensation Board awarding death benefits to the mother of the decedent but denying death benefits to a twelve-year-old brother of the decedent. The board’s finding that the brother of the decedent was not a dependent within the meaning of the Workmen’s Compensation Law was supported by substantial evidence. Decision and award unanimously affirmed, without costs. Present — Foster, P. J., Bergan, Coon, Halpern and Imrie. JJ
