Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities prevented him from securing and following a substantially gainful occupation, warranting a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) for the period from May 4, 2018, to March 18, 2020, on an extraschedular basis. The Veteran became eligible for Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) benefits as of May 4, 2018.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities cumulatively precluded him from obtaining or maintaining a substantially gainful occupation during the period in question.
