Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of July 16, 2015, for the award of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) and Dependents' Educational Assistance.
The deciding factor: The issue of employability was raised in conjunction with an earlier appealed claim for an increased rating for the right knee, and evidence showed that the Veteran could no longer work long hours or perform required duties due to her service-connected disabilities from July 16, 2015.
