Dismissed
The appeal for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) was dismissed. The request for an earlier effective date for Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) benefits was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board does not have appellate jurisdiction to review the claim of entitlement to TDIU, and the criteria for an earlier effective date for DEA benefits were not met.
