The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an earlier effective date than August 12, 2024, for additional dependency compensation for A. S., and August 26, 2024, for A. A. S., based on a lack of complete information regarding their dependency.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not provide all necessary information to establish his entitlement to eligibility for additional dependency compensation for either dependent within one year of the June 2021 rating decision which established compensation and provided a combined disability evaluation of not less than 30 percent.
