The Board has remanded the case due to issues related to whether there was clear and unmistakable error in a May 1987 RO decision that denied a TDIU rating, as well as the issue of an effective date earlier than November 19, 2002, for the award of a TDIU rating.
The deciding factor: The case is being remanded due to pending issues regarding clear and unmistakable error in a previous decision and the need to consider whether there was a claim for a TDIU rating at an earlier date.
