Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claim for accrued benefits and reimbursement of expenses related to his father's last sickness or burial, as he does not meet the eligibility requirements under VA law.
The deciding factor: The preponderance of the evidence is against showing that the appellant is a child of the Veteran under VA law, and thus he is not eligible for the benefits sought.
