Denied
The Board denied an effective date before June 3, 2018, for both a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) and dependents educational assistance (DEA).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's employment was found to be substantially gainful until June 2, 2018, and his income did not meet the criteria for marginal employment. Therefore, an earlier effective date for TDIU is not warranted.
