The Board granted an effective date of September 14, 2014, for the recognition of C. as the helpless child of the Veteran on the basis of permanent incapacity for self-support prior to attaining the age of 18.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively weighs in favor of the claim of entitlement to an effective date of September 14, 2014, and no earlier, for the recognition of C. as the helpless child of the Veteran on the basis of permanent incapacity for self-support prior to attaining the age of 18.
