Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability, eligibility for Dependents' Educational Assistance under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 35, and dependency benefits for his wife.
The deciding factor: The earliest date it is factually ascertainable that the Veteran was unable to work was in 2003, which is not within the one-year period prior to February 10, 2020.
