Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of January 21, 2022, for dependency compensation for the Veteran's spouse, J.C., based on the submission of evidence establishing dependency prior to the award of a 30 percent disability rating.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran submitted sufficient evidence of dependency before the effective date of his 30 percent disability rating, warranting an earlier effective date for dependency compensation.
