Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of August 12, 2024 for the grant of eligibility for Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) under 38 U.S.C. chapter 35 and individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's increased rating claim for his right knee on August 12, 2024 encompassed a claim for TDIU, which was later formalized with the filing of the Veteran's VA Form 21-8940 Veterans Application for Increased Compensation Based on Unemployability.
