Denied
The Board denied the Appellant's claim for additional nonservice-connected burial benefits as there is no legal basis to award such benefits in excess of the $1,956.00 that has been awarded.
The deciding factor: The maximum available nonservice-connected burial benefits have already been awarded and cannot be exceeded under the governing laws and regulations.
