Denied
The Board denied the claim for TJB to be recognized as a 'helpless child' because the evidence did not show he was permanently incapable of self-support before age 18.
The deciding factor: The Board found that TJB's medical history and ability to hold a full-time job indicated he was capable of self-support.
