Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's request for an earlier effective date than September 9, 2015, for the grant of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) and eligibility for Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) based on permanent and total disability status.
The deciding factor: The earliest possible effective date based on the date of receipt of the claim was June 23, 2022, and an earlier effective date than September 9, 2015, for the grant of TDIU based on the date of the receipt of the claim is not warranted.
