The Board denied the appellant's claim for additional accrued benefits because the appellant, as an adult child, does not meet the criteria for eligibility. The appellant was reimbursed for burial expenses but did not provide evidence of additional medical expenses.

The deciding factor: The appellant did not qualify as a 'child' for VA purposes and failed to show additional expenses beyond those already reimbursed.
