The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an effective date earlier than September 28, 2021, for entitlement to a total disability based upon individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran became too disabled to work due to his PTSD and back disorder on a factually ascertainable date during the one-year period prior to September 28, 2021.
