Granted
The Board granted an effective date of February 17, 2022 (with payment starting March 1, 2022) for minor child dependency compensation for A.H. and C.H., but no earlier.
The deciding factor: The evidence of the children's dependency was not received within one year of their births, so the effective date is the date of receipt of the Veteran's dependency application (February 17, 2022).
