Dismissed
The appeal for an earlier effective date for VA education benefits was dismissed due to the lack of a decision by the AOJ on this issue.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence of a decision issued by the AOJ regarding entitlement to an earlier effective date for the award of VA education benefits during the appeal period, and the Appellant has exhausted her entitlement according to the December 2024 decision from the AOJ.
