Denied
The Board denied the claim for additional accrued benefits in excess of $1,566.60 as there was no evidence that the appellant paid expenses related to the Veteran's last sickness or burial beyond those already reimbursed.
The deciding factor: The Appellant did not provide sufficient evidence to show she bore any expense of H.L.'s last sickness and burial beyond the $1,566.60 VA already reimbursed.
