Granted
The Board granted the restoration of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) and basic eligibility to Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) benefits, effective April 1, 2023.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not meet the 'clear and convincing' standard required for reducing TDIU, as the Veteran's employment was not shown to be substantially gainful lasting a full year.
