The Board granted an effective date of November 1, 2019, for the grant of service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively shows that VA did not comply with its duty to provide the appellant with a supplemental claim form and that she submitted a completed supplemental claim within one year of her initial request for an application for benefits.
