Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an effective date prior to November 3, 2020, for the addition of his spouse as a dependent.
The deciding factor: The June 2005 dependency claim was abandoned due to lack of additional information within one year of notification, and no new complete claim was submitted until February 2021.
