Dismissed
The appeal for earlier effective dates for TDIU, Dependents' Educational Assistance, SMC housebound status, and a 50 percent disability rating for migraines was dismissed as the February 2024 AOJ decision merely implemented the Board's February 16, 2024 decision.
The deciding factor: The February 2024 AOJ decision was deemed purely ministerial in nature and did not render any findings on issues already determined by the Board.
