Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's request for an earlier effective date for additional dependency benefits, as proof of his marriage was not received within one year of notification.
The deciding factor: Proof of dependents was not submitted within one year of the January 10, 2022, notification letter informing the Veteran that he was eligible for additional compensation based on a disability rating of at least 30 percent.
