STEINBERG, Associate Judge:
The pro se appellant, Nicanor Duro, appeals from a July 24, 1990, decision of the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA) which denied entitlement to burial benefits for the death of his father, veteran Climaco C. Duro. The issue presented on this appeal is whether the BVA erred in concluding that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) was bound by the certification from the Department of the Army that the veteran did not have service as a member of the Philippine Commonwealth Army in the service of the United States Armed Forces.
FACTS
Climaco C. Duro died on May 17, 1987.…
