The Board has remanded the case due to a failure to properly address the Veteran's current address. The issue of entitlement to an effective date earlier than June 21, 2010 for the grant of a TDIU is now pending.
The deciding factor: The SSOC was not sent to the Veteran's most recent address and needs to be re-sent there.
