Denied
The appeal for reissuance of a check in the amount of $76,727 dated December 8, 2008 was denied due to the Appellant's request being more than six years after the claim accrued.
The deciding factor: The denial is based on the law requiring claims for unpaid veterans' benefits checks to be presented within six years of accrual, which in this case, the Appellant did not meet.
