Partly granted
The Veteran's claim for additional dependency compensation based on recognition of L. as a dependent school child was granted effective June 26, 2022, while the claim for an earlier effective date for E.'s recognition as a dependent school child was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran regarding L., granting an effective date from her commencement of college. For E., no valid claim was filed within one year of her 18th birthday, thus denying an earlier effective date.
