Granted
The Board granted an effective date of November 16, 2022, for the addition of the Veteran's stepchild and biological child as dependents to her award of VA disability compensation.
The deciding factor: An earlier effective date is not warranted because the evidence does not show that the Veteran attempted to add N. and S. to her award even earlier than November 16, 2022.
