The Board granted entitlement to additional accrued benefits in the amount of $693.55 for reimbursement of the expense of last sickness and denied entitlement to an additional $259.99 claimed as associated with the expense of last sickness.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance that the $693.55 worth of materials purchased by the appellant were reasonable expenses incident to the Veteran's last sickness, but the persuasive weight of the evidence does not support an additional $259.99 worth of expenses bore by the appellant for a foot massager.
