Denied
The Board denied the Appellant's appeal for an earlier effective date of November 1, 2010 for the apportionment on behalf of their child D.J.B. The criteria for an earlier effective date were not met.
The deciding factor: The AOJ assigned an effective date of November 1, 2010 based on the finality of prior decisions and lack of clear and unmistakable error.
