Granted
The Board granted an effective date of July 7, 2022, but no earlier, for the addition of the Veteran's spouse, L., as a dependent on his award of disability compensation.
The deciding factor: The RO did not provide proper notice within one year of the initial claim and the Veteran provided the necessary information within that timeframe.
