Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service-connected burial benefits due to an inextricably intertwined issue of whether a service-connected disorder was the principal cause of the Veteran's death.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need to obtain a medical opinion regarding the relationship between any service-connected disorders and the Veteran's death before determining eligibility for burial benefits.
