Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for additional dependency benefits for his daughter based on permanent incapacity for self-support prior to attaining the age of 18, as there was no evidence that she was permanently incapable of self-support at that time.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that S.D. was permanently incapable of self-support prior to attaining the age of 18 years.
