Remanded (sent back)
The appellant's claim for accrued benefits is remanded to provide him with notice of the information and evidence needed to support his contention that he paid the expenses of the surviving spouse's last illness.
The deciding factor: Remand necessary due to pre-decisional duty-to-assist error in not informing the appellant what additional evidence was required to substantiate his claim for accrued benefits.
