Granted
The Veteran's appeal for additional dependency benefits for his mother, H.G., was granted because her expenses exceeded her income, making her dependent on the Veteran for financial support.
The deciding factor: The Board found that H.G.'s total monthly expenses significantly exceeded her monthly income, qualifying her as a dependent parent under VA regulations.
