Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claims for dependency and indemnity compensation, a survivor's pension, and accrued benefits as he did not meet the criteria for these benefits.
The deciding factor: The appellant was found to be an adult son who had worked prior to reaching age 18, thus not meeting the criteria for permanent incapacity of self-support. There was also no evidence provided regarding expenses paid for the Veteran's last sickness or burial.
