The Board has determined that the effective dates for removing V. W. as a dependent and adding L. W. as a dependent are properly assigned, based on the facts of the case.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the fact that VA was not made aware of the Veteran's remarriage until June 2007, which is within one year of his marriage to L. W.
