Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for adding his child A.K. as a dependent, finding no evidence of a timely filed claim or notification within one year of the child's birth.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence that the Veteran submitted a claim to recognize A.K. as his dependent child prior to March 6, 2022, and he did not notify VA of A.K.'s existence within one year of the child's birth or within one year of being notified of additional disability compensation.
