Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claim for accrued benefits as he did not incur expenses related to the Veteran's surviving spouse's last sickness or burial.
The deciding factor: Accrued benefits are only available if expenses were incurred for the payee's last sickness or burial, which was not the case here.
