The Board granted earlier effective dates of June 11, 2020, for the Veteran's total disability evaluation based on individual unemployability (TDIU) and eligibility for Dependents Educational Assistance (DEA).
The deciding factor: The Board found that the appropriate effective date was the date the Veteran submitted an intent to file a claim for increased compensation for his service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which encompassed a claim for TDIU.
