Denied
The Board denied the appellant, M.K., recognition as a proper claimant entitled to accrued benefits for expenses related to his mother's last sickness.
The deciding factor: The appellant did not meet the eligibility requirements for entitlement to accrued benefits because he is not considered a 'child' for VA disability benefits purposes and the family Trust paid for the last sickness expenses of the Veteran's spouse.
