Dismissed
The Board granted entitlement to Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) for the appellant from March 13, 2022 to August 22, 2022. The appeal for DIC from August 23, 2022 was dismissed as moot.
The deciding factor: The appeal for DIC from August 23, 2022 was dismissed because the appellant received Chapter 35 Dependents Educational Assistance (DEA) benefits which provide a greater benefit than DIC.
