Partly granted
The veteran's daughter was granted service-connected burial benefits but denied additional benefits for transportation expenses or a plot/interment allowance.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was rated totally disabled for a service-connected disability at the time of his death, which allowed for a presumption that his death occurred as a result of a service-connected disability for the purpose of burial benefits.
