Granted
The Board granted the appellant's claim for a plot/interment allowance following the Veteran's death, as he was not interred in a VA national cemetery or state veterans cemetery.
The deciding factor: The Veteran died and was buried in a private local cemetery, making him eligible for a burial allowance under 38 C.F.R. § 3.1705, which led to the grant of a plot/interment allowance.
