Granted
The Board granted an earlier October 23, 2019 effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU) and the grant of eligibility for Dependents' Educational Assistance under 38 USC chapter 35.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's prostate cancer and its residual symptoms have rendered him unable to obtain or follow substantially gainful employment since October 23, 2019, which is earlier than the date of claim.
