Denied
The Board denied an effective date prior to February 20, 2024, for basic eligibility to Dependents' Educational Assistance based on permanent and total disability status.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence of a 100 percent rating based on permanent total service-connected disability prior to February 20, 2024, and the Veteran has not offered any contention as to why she is entitled to an earlier effective date.
