Partly granted
The Veteran's son was granted a nonservice-connected burial allowance but denied a plot/interment allowance following the Veteran's death.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on specific statutory and regulatory guidelines, which were met for a burial allowance but not for a plot/interment allowance due to the cremation of the remains and their subsequent scattering at a private location.
