The Board denied the veteran's request for an effective date earlier than April 18, 2002, for entitlement to additional VA compensation for a dependent spouse. The decision found that necessary information was not provided by the veteran prior to this date.
The deciding factor: The veteran failed to provide complete and accurate information regarding her marriages and the termination of her marriage to R.R.R., which prevented an earlier effective date from being assigned.
