The Board has remanded the case to obtain Social Security Administration records and federal tax returns, and to consider any additional evidence submitted by the veteran. The effective date for TDIU is still May 22, 1990, but service connection for atherosclerosis remains pending.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the earlier effective date issue was remanded due to failure to obtain Social Security Administration records and federal tax returns as ordered in prior Court Orders. Service connection for atherosclerosis is still pending.
