Granted
The Board granted earlier effective dates of February 23, 2022, for the awards of service connection for a right wrist condition and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but denied an earlier effective date for basic eligibility to Dependents' Educational Assistance based on permanent and total disability status.
The deciding factor: The criteria for entitlement were met as of February 23, 2022, due to the receipt of an intent to file and a subsequent claim within one year thereof.
