Granted
The Board granted the restoration of T.R.H. as a dependent spouse effective September 1, 2015, based on the Veteran's confirmation that he remained married to her within one year of the initial removal decision.
The deciding factor: The Veteran provided oral confirmation of his ongoing marriage to T.R.H., which met the criteria for reinstatement under VA regulations.
