Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an earlier effective date than December 1, 2022, for adding his spouse and child as dependents.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not demonstrate an intent to file benefits prior to November 17, 2022 or within one year of the marriage to H. and birth of A., thus December 1, 2022 is the proper effective date for the award of benefits.
