Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claim for burial benefits in a VA national cemetery due to the Veteran not meeting the required minimum period of continuous active duty service.
The deciding factor: Eligibility for internment in a VA national cemetery is based on specific and unambiguous requirements that have not been met in this case, as the Veteran did not serve the requisite minimum period of continuous active duty service prescribed by regulations.
