Denied
The Board denied the claim for burial or internment in a VA national cemetery as the decedent did not have active military, naval, or air service and did not die or become disabled from a disease or injury incurred during ACDUTRA/INACDUTRA.
The deciding factor: The decedent's periods of service were only for ACDUTRA, and there was no evidence that he became disabled from a disease or injury incurred during such periods.
