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).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that an increase in disability resulting in unemployability occurred within one year prior to March 1, 2019, or that the Veteran was permanently and totally disabled for purposes of DEA benefits prior to that date.
