Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for additional compensation benefits based upon recognition of B.B. and C.B. as his dependent parents, finding that their income exceeded the necessary threshold to be considered dependent.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's parents' monthly expenses for 'reasonable maintenance' exceeded their monthly income, thus they do not meet the criteria for dependency under 38 C.F.R. § 3.250.
