Granted
The veteran's surviving spouse is granted Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) effective March 18, 2019. The decision was based on the evidence submitted at that time, including the Veteran's death certificate.
The deciding factor: The Board found sufficient evidence in the record to establish entitlement to DIC from March 18, 2019, despite the lack of a formal claim before December 20, 2023.
