Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeal for entitlement to a TDIU and an effective date prior to March 29, 2022, for Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) as these issues have been fully resolved. The appeal was also denied for special monthly compensation (SMC) at the housebound rate.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 Board decision granted a TDIU and an earlier effective date for DEA, while the criteria for SMC at the housebound rate prior to March 29, 2022 have not been met.
