Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of September 8, 2021 for the assignment of a 100 percent disability rating for PTSD and eligibility to Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA), but denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The evidence demonstrated that an increase in severity was factually ascertainable as of September 8, 2021, which is the earliest date the Veteran's claim for increased rating was filed and supported by medical evidence.
