Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of a total disability rating due to individual unemployability (TDIU) and for the assignment of Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) based on permanent and total disability status, both starting from September 3, 2021.
The deciding factor: The Board found no basis to assign an effective date earlier than September 3, 2021, as there were no pending claims at that time and the Veteran did not submit any valid appeal forms with his request for a TDIU.
