The Board denied an earlier effective date for TDIU prior to April 1, 2015, as the Veteran did not meet the schedular criteria for TDIU and was in receipt of temporary total disability benefits from February 19, 2014, through April 1, 2015.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support an earlier effective date for TDIU prior to April 1, 2015, as the Veteran did not meet the schedular criteria and was in receipt of temporary total disability benefits during that period.
