Denied
The Board denied the claim for recognition as a surviving helpless child of the Veteran based on permanent incapacity for self-support prior to attaining the age of 18.
The deciding factor: The appellant was not shown to have been permanently incapable of self-support prior to attaining the age of 18, and there is no evidence of improvement in her condition sufficient to render her capable of self-support at that time.
