The Board denied the Veteran's appeal to restore his son, M.C.R., as a dependent school child on the basis that he did not provide the required certification of continued eligibility within the specified timeframe.
The deciding factor: The termination was proper because the Veteran failed to verify M.C.R.'s school attendance within 60 days after being notified, resulting in the loss of eligibility for additional compensation.
