Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) and eligibility for Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) benefits under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 35.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support an earlier effective date as it is factually ascertainable that the Veteran's conditions did not meet the criteria prior to August 17, 2020.
