Granted
The Board granted earlier effective dates of August 1, 2020 for the award of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU) and basic eligibility for Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities rendered her unemployable as of August 1, 2020, which is the earliest date that can be factually ascertainable based on the evidence provided.
