Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's request for an earlier effective date for the grant of total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU) and eligibility for Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA).
The deciding factor: The earliest possible dates for TDIU and DEA are based on the service-connected acquired psychiatric condition, which has an effective date of March 22, 2018.
