In Part:
"In a November 2005 rating decision, the veteran was awarded
service connection for a seizure disorder, rated as 100
percent disabling, effective back to June 4, 1981. As a
result, the veteran was awarded retroactive payments totaling
$490,063.
The veteran subsequently died on December [redacted], 2005.
In January and February of 2006, the VA then issued his
retroactive award totaling $490,063 in four separate checks.
Either the appellant or the veteran's uncle deposited the
checks into the veteran's bank account.
In February 2006, the veteran's bank put a hold on the checks
upon being informed by Social Security of the veteran's
death. The bank eventually returned the checks to the VA.
In November 2006, the appellant (veteran's mother) filed a VA
Form 21-601, Application for Accrued Amounts due a Deceased
Beneficiary, for the retroactive award.”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In-spite of being an executor or administrator of the veteran's estate-the mother had no legal standing for any accrued benefits
($490,063)
The deceased veteran had no children, and no one else who legally could become the proper claimant.
Legal claimants are explained in above BVA decision and in the closed topic in claim's research from a mother of a dead veteran,in the other legal citations I posted here but
like many citations I post, no one probably has even read them..
The $490,063 went back into the VA coffers. If this situation crops up again ( there are many claims like this at the BVA, claims not are not valid and add to the backlog)
This is the information you will need to have.
