Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU) prior to September 18, 2013, and basic eligibility for Chapter 35 Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) based on permanent and total disability status prior to the same date.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the veteran's service-connected right knee and lumbar spine disabilities prevented him from obtaining or maintaining substantially gainful employment, nor did it meet the schedular criteria for DEA.
