Granted
The Veteran is granted a total disability rating for compensation and basic eligibility for Dependents' Educational Assistance from February 13, 2020 to February 26, 2020 due to service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected PTSD has prevented him from obtaining and maintaining substantial employment since February 13, 2020, warranting a TDIU. Basic eligibility for DEA benefits is established as of the same date based on the permanent and total disability rating for PTSD.
