Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for recognition of R.G.T. as his 'child' for VA dependency compensation purposes on the basis of permanent incapacity for self-support prior to attaining the age of 18, due to a lack of evidence showing that R.G.T. was permanently incapable of self-support before turning 18.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded there was no persuasive evidence showing R.G.T.'s condition rendered him permanently incapable of self-support prior to his 18th birthday.
