Denied
The veteran's claim for a government-furnished headstone or grave marker was denied because the grave is already marked and the veteran died before November 1, 1990.
The deciding factor: The governing law states that a government-furnished headstone or marker can only be provided if the grave is unmarked and the veteran died on or after November 1, 1990.
