Dismissed
The Board dismissed the claim for an earlier effective date for Dependency and Indemity Compensation (DIC) as moot because the surviving spouse is already receiving the earliest available effective date.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that the surviving spouse is in receipt of the earliest possible effective date for DIC, making the appeal moot.
