Granted
The Board granted an effective date of March 1, 2022, for Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) based on the submission of the Veteran's death certificate within one year of his death.
The deciding factor: The record contained sufficient evidence to establish entitlement to DIC benefits due to a service-connected disability, thus allowing an effective date from the first day of the month in which the Veteran died.
