Granted
The Board granted entitlement to dependency compensation benefits for J.M., the Veteran's spouse, as the Veteran is in receipt of disability compensation rated 30 percent or more and J.M. is his current spouse.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that the Veteran has been receiving at least a 30% rating since October 2002 and that J.M. is his current spouse, meeting the criteria for dependency benefits.
