Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of June 9, 2020, for an award of additional DIC benefits for C. N. S., the Veteran's biological child.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports assigning an earlier effective date because it shows that the Appellant filed a claim on June 9, 2020, and has pursued the claim continuously since then.
