Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's request for an earlier effective date than July 1, 2023, for additional dependency compensation for her minor child, G. R. K., as she did not provide all necessary information to establish their relationship and meet eligibility criteria within one year of a relevant rating decision.
The deciding factor: The Veteran failed to provide the required information regarding G. R. K.'s existence and relationship to her within one year of a relevant rating decision, which is a requirement for establishing an earlier effective date.
