Granted
The Veteran's estate is granted increased burial benefits in the amount of $434.00 and reimbursement of transportation expenses in the amount of $275.00.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the appellant being entitled to nonservice-connected burial benefits due to the Veteran's admission to a state nursing home, which is covered under VA regulations.
