Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities and an effective date prior to September 16, 2021, for the grant of eligibility to Dependents Educational Assistance (DEA) under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 35.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran was unemployable due to service-connected disabilities or that basic eligibility for DEA benefits began prior to September 16, 2021.
