Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date for recognition of B.E.R. as his adopted child for additional dependency compensation.
The deciding factor: No written claim was submitted within a year of the adoption, and the law does not allow assignment of an earlier effective date in this case.
