Partly granted
The Board granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities prior to April 15, 2022, and basic eligibility for Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) prior to the same date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities precluded him from securing or maintaining substantially gainful employment prior to April 15, 2022, thus meeting the criteria for a TDIU. Additionally, his eligibility for DEA was met due to this TDIU.
