The Veteran was granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) on an extraschedular basis from October 21, 2009 to April 21, 2011 and basic eligibility to Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 35 for the same period.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran was unable to obtain and maintain substantially gainful employment due to his service-connected disabilities from October 21, 2009 to April 21, 2011.
