Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claim for additional accrued benefits as she had already received twice the amount in benefits to which she was entitled ($11,068.00 paid in December 2015 and again in April 2016).
The deciding factor: VA erroneously paid $11,068.00 to the appellant's bank account after the Veteran's death, which was later repaid.
