Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal to recognize his mother-in-law, M.R., as a dependent parent for VA compensation purposes.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish that M.R. was the natural mother of the Veteran or stood in the relationship of a parent to him for at least one year prior to his entry into active service.
