Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed as the issue of entitlement to recognition of J. as the Veteran's dependent spouse for VA purposes is now moot due to a full grant of benefits.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed because the AOJ fully reinstated the Veteran's spouse, J., as a dependent effective January 1, 2024, which made the appeal moot.
