Granted
The Board granted an effective date of March 3, 2023, for the addition of the Veteran's spouse as his dependent to his VA compensation, with payment beginning on April 1, 2023.
The deciding factor: The date of claim is the date of marriage, and the Veteran notified VA within a year of the event, making March 3, 2023, the effective date for the addition of his spouse as his dependent.
