Denied
The Board denied the Appellant's request for a beginning effective date other than September 28, 2022 for Chapter 35 DEA benefits.
The deciding factor: The Appellant did not elect a start date within 60 days of being notified and thus, the period of eligibility began on the date of VA's decision that the Veteran had a permanent and total disability.
