Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's request for an earlier effective date for the grant of a total disability based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) and eligibility for Dependents' Educational Assistance under 38 USC chapter 35, as there was no evidence that he submitted any claims related to these issues prior to September 28, 2021.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's claims for TDIU and Dependents' Educational Assistance were not received until September 28, 2021, and thus, an earlier effective date was not warranted.
