Dismissed
The appeals regarding the removal of the Veteran's dependent spouse and child from his award of VA dependency benefits are dismissed as moot, due to retroactive reinstatement of their benefits.
The deciding factor: The October 2025 decision retroactively reinstated both dependents back to the Veteran’s award, making the appeal moot.
