Granted
The Board granted the recognition of the Appellant as the surviving child of the Veteran for purposes of receiving Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) benefits.
The deciding factor: The evidence established that the Appellant was permanently incapable of self-support prior to attaining the age of 18 due to his disabilities, which rendered him a helpless child for VA benefit purposes.
