Granted
The Board has granted the Veteran's appeal, restoring dependent pay for his stepchild T.R. from June 8, 2017 to December 1, 2010.
The deciding factor: The AOJ erred in concluding that November 12, 2010 was the most recent date on which VA was aware that T.R. was a member of the Veteran's household and provided new information from June 8, 2017.
