The Veteran's claim for additional monetary benefits due to his dependent child's school attendance from May 2007 to June 2008 was denied because the required VA Form 21-674, Request for Approval of School Attendance, was not submitted within the one-year time frame set by regulations and prior to P.H.'s completion of high school.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not timely submit a completed VA Form 21-674, which is required to file a claim for additional compensation based on dependent child's school attendance. The form was submitted after the one-year deadline set by regulations and after P.H. had already graduated from high school.
