Denied
The Board denied recognition of AAN as the Veteran's 'helpless child' on the basis of permanent incapacity for self-support prior to attaining age 18, finding that the evidence did not support her being permanently incapable of self-support at the time she turned 18.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not persuasively show AAN was permanently incapable of self-support prior to turning 18 years old.
