Partly granted
The Board granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU) from March 6, 2024, and awarded dependents' educational assistance (DEA) benefits from the same date. The claim for an earlier effective date prior to June 25, 2018, was denied, as were claims for a higher rating and TDIU before that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not more nearly approximate the criteria for a 100 percent rating from March 6, 2024, but he was granted TDIU based on his PTSD due to the significant impairment in occupational functioning.
