Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's request for an earlier effective date for additional dependency compensation for his spouse, E., as no claim or notice of marriage was received within a year of their December 2018 marriage.
The deciding factor: The earliest possible effective date allowed by law is the date of claim, May 8, 2023, as no evidence shows a claim or notice of marriage to E. was submitted within a year of their marriage in December 2018.
