Remanded (sent back)
The claims for VA burial benefits in the form of a burial allowance and transportation allowance are remanded to the AOJ for an audit of the Veteran's file and to determine who paid for the funeral expenses.
The deciding factor: There is a question as to who paid for the funeral expenses of the Veteran, and whether any benefits were ever paid to the correct individual (the individual who actually incurred the costs and expenses).
