Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of August 10, 2021, for both a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) and Dependents Educational Assistance (DEA).
The deciding factor: The Veteran met the criteria for TDIU from January 3, 2019, due to his service-connected PTSD, and had a permanent total service-connected disability since August 10, 2021, which allowed for an earlier effective date for DEA.
