Dismissed
The appeal concerning the removal of the Veteran's dependent spouse, A., from his award of VA disability compensation was dismissed as there is no case or controversy before the Board.
The deciding factor: The effective date of a reduction in compensation benefits based on divorce is the first day of the month following the month of divorce, and the Veteran did not dispute the removal of his spouse from his award.
