Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date for DEA benefits and for educational assistance benefits under Chapter 33 at the 100 percent rate.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not meet the criteria for a permanent and total disability rating prior to April 26, 2023, and her active duty service was insufficient to qualify for the 100 percent benefit level under the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
