The Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for the award of additional dependency compensation benefits for his children has been granted. The claim for waiver of recovery of overpayment of dependency compensation benefits in the amount of $2,742.27 is pending and will be adjudicated by the Committee on Waivers and Compromises.
The deciding factor: The Board found that an effective date of February 10, 2009 was warranted for additional compensation due to the Veteran's dependent children enrolled in school, but overpayment claims are pending and must be addressed separately.

What this means for you
A grant means the Board allowed the benefit or issue identified in this decision. Review the original order: other issues in the same appeal may have a different outcome, and this decision does not predict another claim.
What you can do next
