Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claim for burial benefits in the form of reimbursement of transportation expenses because the Veteran was not interred at a national or state veterans cemetery and did not receive disability compensation.
The deciding factor: The payment of burial benefits is strictly based on specific statutory and regulatory guidelines, which have not been met in this case.
