The Board has determined that a valid Notice of Disagreement was filed within one year of the Department of Veteran's Affairs Regional Office (RO) decision of March 2002 regarding the issue of entitlement to burial benefits. The RO issued an administrative decision in March 2002 authorizing payment for nonservice-connected burial and plot/interment allowance benefits in the amount of $225.00.
The deciding factor: The appellant submitted a timely Notice of Disagreement (NOD) within one year of the RO's decision, indicating dissatisfaction with the award of $225 for nonservice-connected burial and plot/interment allowance benefits.
