Granted
The Board granted an effective date of September 7, 2021, for the award of a 100 percent disability rating for schizophrenia and basic eligibility to Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA), but dismissed entitlement to individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms most closely approximated total occupational and social impairment since September 7, 2021, which is the earliest date of claim receipt that was factually ascertainable.
