Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to a total disability rating, based on individual unemployability, due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU), and an effective date prior to April 8, 2021, for the grant of eligibility for Dependents Educational Assistance (DEA) under 38 USC chapter 35.
The deciding factor: The Board failed to apply the 'reasonable possibility' standard when assessing whether the Veteran's claim for entitlement to an effective date prior to April 8, 2021, for TDIU warranted referral for extraschedular consideration.
