Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claim for a plot or interment allowance as she is not eligible since the state has been awarded a plot allowance for the Veteran's interment in its state veterans' cemetery.
The deciding factor: Federal laws authorizing monetary benefits are enacted by Congress and cannot be awarded unless an individual meets all of the requirements of a particular law.
