Granted
The Veteran's claims for an earlier effective date for TDIU and DEA benefits were denied, but the Board granted an effective date of September 2, 2020, for both.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran met the criteria for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) as of September 2, 2020, and this effective date was applied to his eligibility for Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) benefits.
