Denied

The Board denied payment under the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA) for medical services provided on January 20, 2020, as the Veteran's dependent child did not meet the eligibility requirements.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's dependent child was not eligible for CHAMPVA benefits because the Veteran is not deceased and does not have a permanent and total service-connected disability.
