Granted
The Board granted earlier effective dates for the award of total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU) and eligibility to Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) benefits, both from September 13, 2013.
The deciding factor: The evidence demonstrated that the Veteran's combined service-connected disabilities rendered him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation as of September 13, 2013.
