Denied
The Board denied the veteran's eligibility for Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) benefits because the residuals of prostate cancer were not considered permanent and total.
The deciding factor: Diagnostic Code 7528 contemplates remission and precludes the assignment of a permanent and total disability rating.
