Granted
The Board granted an effective date of August 1, 2012, for the award of Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) benefits based on the Veteran's service-connected death.
The deciding factor: The earliest possible effective date is supported by the Appellant-widow's immediate claim after the Veteran's death and VA's subsequent actions.
