Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an award of retroactive VA benefits due to a dependent spouse, as there was no evidence that additional compensation was warranted.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence did not demonstrate that additional VA dependency benefits were warranted, and any previous error in removing the Veteran's spouse as a dependent had been rectified with reimbursement of wrongly collected overpayment.
