The Veteran's spouse was granted a burial allowance but denied a plot/interment allowance following the Veteran's death.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not meet the criteria for a plot/interment allowance as his cremains were not interred in a specific type of cemetery and he did not die while hospitalized by VA or have a service-connected disability at discharge.
