Denied
The Veteran's claims for an earlier effective date prior to October 13, 2011 for TDIU and DEA were denied as the evidence did not support a claim for TDIU prior to December 2012.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran had unambiguously refused to make a TDIU claim in January 2008, and no other documentation indicated an attempt to claim TDIU before December 2012.
