Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of TDIU, finding that it was not factually ascertainable that the Veteran first met the requirements for TDIU within the remaining portion of the one-year period prior to the October 9, 2020, claim date.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence did not support an earlier effective date as the increase in disability was not factually ascertainable within the year preceding the claim.
