Denied
The Board denied the Appellant's claims for recognition as the Veteran's surviving child and accrued benefits due to lack of evidence supporting her eligibility.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a lack of competent evidence indicating that the Appellant became permanently incapable of self-support prior to age 18, and the claim for accrued benefits being filed more than one year after the Veteran's death.
