Granted
The Board granted recognition of B.F. as the helpless child of the Veteran for VA purposes based on permanent incapacity for self-support prior to attaining age 18.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that B.F. was permanently incapable of self-support before reaching age 18 due to psychiatric disorders, and this incapacity appears permanent in nature.
