Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of July 14, 2022, for the addition of the Veteran's spouse and child as dependents to his VA disability compensation award.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's February 2012 claim was pending and unadjudicated until the July 2024 decision on appeal, and he met the required combined disability rating of at least 30 percent effective July 14, 2022.
