Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an earlier effective date and a higher rate of Dependency and Indemnity Compensation.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an earlier effective date or a higher rate due to lack of service connection prior to August 12, 2024, and no children under 18 years old were living with the appellant.
