Granted
The Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date of October 1, 2010, for an award of additional dependency compensation for his spouse was granted.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran provided all necessary information to establish his relationship with his spouse within one year of a January 2011 rating decision which established compensation and rated a service-connected disability not less than 30 percent.
