Granted
T.L.A. is granted eligibility for future burial in a VA national cemetery as she is the Veteran's unmarried adult child who became permanently physically or mentally disabled and incapable of self-support prior to age 21.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that T.L.A. was legally incompetent from birth due to an accident during childbirth, making her eligible for burial benefits under applicable VA regulations.
