The Board has granted an effective date of August 1, 2010 for the addition of the Veteran's spouse and children as dependents to his VA disability compensation.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's initial claim for recognition of his spouse and children as dependents which was filed in September 2010. The effective date is set at August 1, 2010, the day after the Veteran’s retirement from service and the effective date of the qualifying disability rating.
