The Board granted the Veteran's claim for recognition of his daughter, S.R., as a helpless child on the basis of permanent incapacity for self-support prior to attaining the age of 18 due to her psychiatric disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in relative equipoise regarding whether S.R. was permanently incapable of self-support prior to attaining the age of 18, and resolving doubt in favor of the Veteran supports this determination.
