Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for the award of Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) benefits, finding that May 16, 2023, is the earliest possible date based on the rules for effective dates.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence showing good cause for a delay in filing the claim prior to May 16, 2023.
