Denied
The veteran's daughter appealed for burial benefits, specifically transportation expenses. The Board denied the claim because the veteran did not die from a service-connected disability and was not interred in a national cemetery.
The deciding factor: The veteran did not meet the criteria for reimbursement of transportation expenses as outlined by federal law.
