The Veteran's claim for an effective date of March 29, 2019 for his dependents P.S. and J.S. was granted by the Board. The decision is based on the fact that VA was first notified of their existence in March 29, 2019.
The deciding factor: The effective date was determined to be March 29, 2019 as it is the latest possible effective date given the Veteran's divorce and subsequent marriage.
