Granted
The Board granted the Veteran's claims for additional VA disability compensation benefits based on recognizing his father, L.O., and mother, L.A., as his dependent parents.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that while the Veteran's parents' income exceeded $660 per month, their expenses indicated they did not have sufficient income to provide reasonable maintenance for themselves.
