Granted

The Veteran's claim for additional dependency benefits for his biological child, M. A. V., after she turned age 18 based on school attendance is granted.

The deciding factor: The record evidence clearly shows that M. A. V. was over age 18 and attending a VA approved educational institution full-time at all times relevant to this appeal.
