Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter of entitlement to helpless child benefits on behalf of the Veteran's son, D.T.S., for additional development.
The deciding factor: The record is still insufficient to properly assess the claim due to a lack of proper notice and scheduling of a VA medical opinion regarding the dependent status as a helpless child.
