The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for his TDIU award, finding that there was no evidence of unemployability prior to September 28, 2001.
The deciding factor: There is no factual basis to establish entitlement to a TDIU before September 28, 2001 due to lack of evidence of unemployability prior to this date.
