Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for recognition of J.R., S.R., and S.A. as helpless children on the basis of permanent incapacity for self-support prior to attaining the age of 18 due to a pre-decisional error in VA's duty to assist.
The deciding factor: Remand is required to provide proper notice under the VCAA and obtain relevant records from the Winnebago Tribal Court, SSA, and Twelve Clans Unity Hospital.
