Dismissed
The appeal for reinstatement of the Veteran's spouse and children as dependents to his award of disability benefits is dismissed as moot because the VA Regional Office has already granted this relief.
The deciding factor: There is no case or controversy affecting the provision of benefits by VA, as the VA Regional Office has already recognized the Veteran's spouse and children as dependents effective February 1, 2023.
