Granted
The Veteran's remains were buried in a national cemetery, and he had a service-connected condition at the time of death for which he would have received compensation but for the receipt of nonservice-connected VA disability pension. Therefore, VA burial transportation reimbursement in the amount of $595 is granted.
The deciding factor: The criteria for entitlement to VA burial transportation reimbursement are met based on the Veteran's service-connected condition and burial location.
