Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date for the establishment of basic eligibility for DEA benefits, as there was no evidence that he had a permanent and total disability prior to April 20, 2023.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence showing the Veteran had a permanent and total disability before the assigned effective date.
